The A5 Beyond innovates modern bass concepts to the next level with the tone-enhancing tension that multi-scale design provides, amazing body/neck balance, and effortless access to the highest frets.

Features:

Exceptional Balance and Control

The A5 Beyond’s single-cutaway design maximizes body/neck balance, allowing you to perform expressively while reducing fatigue.

Experience Multi-Scale Tone and Playability

Higher tension on the lower strings gives the A5 Beyond a tight, focused, and thunderous low-end response even on your open B string. And once you feel the comfortable, ergonomic playability the A5 Beyond’s multi-scale frets provide, you may not want to go back to a traditional bass.

A Tonewood Combination for the Ears and Eyes

The A5 Beyond starts with an ash body, a classic tonewood choice for solid, well-balanced bass tone. The bubinga top enhances sustain, warmth, and depth, and looks amazingly elegant while doing so.

Bartolini® Electronics for World-class Tone

The A5 Beyond is equipped with Bartolini MK-1 pickups with active 3-band EQ, giving you ultimate control to shape your tone for any setting. MK-1 pickups are voiced for robust mids with brilliant highs, with switchable passive/active modes for two distinct sonic profiles to explore.

Maximized Tone with Thru-Body Neck Construction

The A5 Beyond’s thru-body neck allows string vibrations to propagate across the body and neck in a linear manner, enhancing low/mid frequencies while supporting brighter, more articulate highs.

Focus on Your Playing, Not Your Tuning

High-performance Hipshot Ultralite tuning hardware allows you to play longer with less tune-ups.

Individual String Bridges for Rock-Solid Tone

Giving each string a separate bridge minimizes crosstalk between strings, greatly enhancing the A5 Beyond’s note definition and articulation.

A Neck Any Player Will Love

A 5-piece maple/panga panga neck supports the A5 Beyond’s expansive voice with prominent mids and well-defined highs.

Panga Panga Fingerboard

An African hardwood, Panga Panga has characteristics of Wenge and produces a tight and coherent sound that mates extremely well with the instrument’s multi-laminate neck.

Bartolini® MK-1 Preamp

Bartolini’s renowned MK-1 preamp provides a powerful yet transparent boost along with its trademark crisp high-end. The MK-1 transfers the natural liveliness of the bass through a flexible 3-band equalizer for a variety of applications ranging from studio recording to large concert halls. It also provides a switchable active/passive mode for a powerful modern active sound or an organic traditional passive sound.
