HAGSTROM H8-II 8-СТРУНА БАС WILD ВИШНЕВЫЙ TRANSPARENT

A legend of the bass world. The Hagstrom H8-II 8-String Bass is a legendary model, reimagined and brought into the 21st century with a wealth of modern features. It gives you all of that singing, rich 8-string bass tone that Hagstrom first made famous with this very model. But it’s not stuck in the past. A specially designed Resinator fingerboard creates sharp, precise tone at every frequency.

It’s also been loaded with first-class electronics. A pair of powerful DynaRail humbuckers gives you a deep, dominating bass tone that’ll really make your low-end basslines bellow. Want to play further up the scale? Not a problem. Push-pull coil splitting means you can quickly change from that rich humbucking tone to sharper, bright single-coil sound in a flash. Get yourself a bass that gives you everything.

The original 8-string kings

When you think of an 8-string bass guitar, the chances are that Hagstrom are the first company that come to mind. And that’s probably because it was them, way back in the ’60s, who first mass-produced an 8-string model. So you can imagine, then, that in all that time, they’ve really mastered the art of producing sensational 8-string basses that delight the senses. This reimagined H8 – that first model they produced – gives you all of the hallmark quality of the original.

Double the strings means double the sound, so you can enjoy a bigger, ringing tone in your bass playing. Each standard string is matched with a string an exact octave higher. They’re perfectly balanced with each other, and together deliver a full, commanding sound that brings texture and depth to whatever it is you’re playing. From psychedelic bass chord progressions to driving rock riffs, it’s ideal for any style. And you’ll never need an octave pedal again.

Liquid-smooth playability

Discover a playing experience that’s been expertly engineered to deliver true perfection. The Hagstrom H8 includes a wealth of features all designed to enhance playability and ensure that every second you’re playing this bass is a joy. With a “C”-shaped hard maple neck, you can experience total playing comfort – the “C” profile fits snugly to the palm of your hand, eliminating cramp.

That’s not all. This H8 comes equipped with a special Resinator wood fretboard. A composite wood material, the Resinator fingerboard is a stunningly smooth, balanced playing surface to unleash your basslines upon. It’s more uniform and stable than standard fretboard woods, meaning there are no irritating “dead spots” that dull your tone. So you get precision and definition in every note. It’s also very smooth, reducing friction and allowing your fingers to effortlessly glide from note to note at even the highest speeds. Add in a double cutaway for unencumbered access to the top of the scale, and this is one bass you’ll never tire of playing.

Electronics that give you plenty of options

Explore a truly versatile bass sound. The H8 Hagstrom comes loaded with a pair of ultra-powerful DynaRail humbuckers. Deep, bellowing, and particularly strong in the low end, these pickups will bring a stunning depth and richness to your bass playing. But that’s not even the best bit. They’re also enabled with push-pull coil splitting. This means you can quickly flit from that thick humbucker sound to the sharper, brighter tone of single coils. Great for when you really want your mids and high notes to pop. This bass can do it all.
