Brubaker Guitars has introduced the NBS Headless Bass Series, a new line of four- and five-string basses available in both 34-inch and 30-inch scale lengths. Designed for flexibility and travel ease, these basses feature Brubaker’s BOB (Brubaker On-Board) swappable preamp system, allowing bass players to switch between six distinct preamps in under a minute.
Each NBS bass comes with a True Passive Module as the default, with other available preamps crafted by brands such as Bartolini, DarkGlass, John East, Aguilar, and Nordstrand.
Standard specifications for the NBS series include an alder body with a spalted maple top, maple neck, and Hipshot hardware. Pickup configurations include J/J, P/J, and humbucker options, providing additional customisation. Every bass is hand-numbered and signed by master luthier Kevin Brubaker, who states, “The NBS Headless series represents years of innovation and feedback from the players who inspire us.”
The Brubaker Guitars NBS Headless Series is now available for pre-order, starting at £3,700.
