The new Maxx Fly Bass represents the culmination of Parker Guitars'
finest work in a bass. Sacrificing nothing in terms of design and
aesthetics, this bass is the ultimate in its class and is a powerhouse
of features. It is a bass that a professional musician will turn to
time and time again and will be debuted at Winter NAMM 2012 with a
retail of $5,998.67.
The body is crafted of swamp ash and is backed with Parker's famous
carbon glass epoxy wrap. It’s built to sound big, featuring an EMG® ‘P’
split-neck pickup, an EMG® ‘MMCS’ bridge pickup, and an EMG® piezo
buffer. The Parker designed Hipshot® bridge also houses the Ghost®
piezo saddles. It is available in a gloss finish, with colors including
dusty black, 3-tone sunburst, and candy lemon yellow.
The neck is poplar with a carbon glass epoxy fretboard sporting 24
stainless steel frets and Hipshot® Ultra Light lollipop tuners. The
entire bass weighs in at approximately 6 lbs. A fretless version is also
available. The Parker Maxx Fly Bass represents a new standard in a
premium, high-end performance bass.
