ABOUT SIGNATURE BASSES

Featuring the traditional construction details of the Series I and Series II basses, the Signature Deluxe is a natural platform for designing your own custom build. Most of the Signature basses you’ll find in stock at our dealers are the Balance K body shape. This shape balances perfectly even in 5- and 6-string versions, extended scale lengths, and is very comfortable on or off the strap.
 Signature electronics produce an accurate representation of the string movement, with even the most subtle fingering techniques shining through. Thoughtful phrasing is rewarded, and you’ll be able to communicate your musical ideas more completely. Both the Standard and Deluxe models have the exact same pickups and electronics: volume, pan, and a separate filter and Q for each pickup. This gives you the flexibility to mix two entirely different sounds from each pickup, and create a tone that is unique. There’s also a separate preamp for each pickup. So set the pickup height to where you like it for comfort or tone, and then adjust the gain with a trimpot inside the electronics cavity. Customize your sound at will!
 The Deluxe and Standard models both feature Mahogany bodies, but the construction differs. On the Deluxe, the body core is Mahogany, with a top and back wood. For the Standard model, there is a top laminate only.
 The woods you choose for the body will impact the tone, but the neck is the dominant tone-defining wood feature. The Maple component of the neck delivers consistent, even tone, with piano-like clarity. We add Purpleheart laminates to the Signature Deluxe neck for greater stiffness and attack.
 We draw inspiration from custom instruments we have built and package the most enduring features into models that reflect Alembic basses played by many highly regarded recording artists. The Stanley Clarke Deluxe was our first Signature model, followed later by the Mark King Deluxe.
 The Mark King Deluxe is fashioned after Mark’s personal Series II basses. These models feature a long or medium scale with the classic fingerboard taper, front and back body laminates, and the iconic Alembic Standard Point body shape.
