Klos 5-string coming soon

[tauzero]

When I visited @dub_junkie to check out a Bogart that I ended up not having, I had a play on a Klos 4-string that he had. I was rather impressed by it, but I play 5s and Klos weren't doing a 5. However, the website did say that one was coming at some point, so I put my name down as interested and a couple of days ago they sent me an email saying that their first 5 string sample will be out soon, in about a month. Could be interesting (OTOH, could spell the end of my life if I try and buy another bass).

I'm looking forward to seeing the five string. Be interesting to see what changes they've made.

Still really liking mine and can see me putting a deposit on the five.

Nice!

 

That teaser pic suggests they've come up with a better looking headstock shape too - although the tuner placement looks very irregular and weird. I'm really curious to see the final design!

If they had that strat headstock on the bass necks, I'd wager they'd shift a lot more units.

I did ask in the original survey and in the follow-up whether they'd be looking at headless basses.
