The Force

The Hot Wire Force Bass is a Prezz with two soapbar pickups and active tone controls. A lot is possible on this basis. Choose the body wood, the finish, the neck shape, the electronics, even the position of the controls. The first Hot Wire Force was made in 2005, and it just keeps going and going.

A customer sent me a photo of a bass we had built in 2007. It was now at the university in Hamburg, and he wanted one just like it! No problem, I had played this bass at various gigs and still remembered it well. So we rebuilt the bass down to the last screw. I even had a neck from the same year - we used that, of course.
