Inlaw Modelle
INLAW BUCKEYE BURL 424
This one has a beautiful Buckeye Burl top. In general, we have saved nothing on this model. The full-length neck consists of three strips of maple and two strips of sapeli mahogany. The fingerboard is made of ebony. The attached body wings are made of swamp ash.
W-Bucker
Two Hotwire dual-coil W-buckers (the coils are switchable: serial - single coil - parallel) deviier the sound. The East Uni-Pre offers bass, treble and parametric midrange for optimal tone control - this bass can be anything from vintage old-school to reggae to modern P-funk.
INLAW BUCKEYE BURL 524 XXL
The thru-neck, constructed from several strips of maple and sapele mahogany, provides a balanced tone and a very special feel. The XXL scale with a sounding string length of 900 mm guarantees a ultra-deep sound on the thick strings. The body consists of two parts of swamp ash. The high-gloss finish brings out the finer points of the noble Buckeye Burl top particularly well.
Active
Our W-Bucker thumps out a huge sound already in passive mode. These power pickups are combined here with a Noll three-band tone control with active bass, treble and center controls. In addition, the pickups can be switched serially, in parallel and as a single coil, so a very authentic J-bass tone is possible, or a P-bass sound, a very fat or a slim sound.
Inlaw 424 Motherbucker
This beauty comes with a poplar burl top with matching pickups covers
Here we see the five-strip glued neck of two broad strips of maple, two narrow strips of sapele mahogany and a narrow maple stripe in the middle. The body side parts consist of swamp ash.
Each of the "Motherbucker" pickups has two stacked humbuckers in J-Bass format in each cover. Actually you have four stacked humbuckers hehre! Using mini three-way switches, these can be operated in series, in parallel or as a single coil. Whereby the single coil function is also humbucking thanks to stack construction. This bass can do anything but hum. These features alone provide a great variety of sounds on the passive level.
The built-in East UNI-PRE 5K sound control provides even more sounds. Bass, treble and parametric mids are available, volume and pan, plus a passive tone control, which also acts as an active / passive switch. The treble control also provides a bright function when you pull the knob. In the electronics compartment you can tune the bass sound with trimpots individually to your needs. The parametric mid control has a cut / boost of 14 dB with a frequency response of 100 Hz to 2.5 kHz.
INLAW 424 CUSTOM FERRARI
Watch out, here comes the Hot Wire Inlaw 424 (i.e., 4 string 24 frets) Ferrari with high gloss finish, bird's eye maple top and multi-strip neck.
Mahogany
The body is made of khaya mahogany. The high-gloss finish brings out the subtleties of the noble top particularly well. The bolt-neck is made of several stripes: hornbeam in the middle, bordered by sapele and maple stripes. The Pau Ferro fretboard looks good, sounds good, does not fall under the CITES regulation and thus allows stress-free border crossings, no papierwork involved.
East Uni-Pre
Two W-buckers already generate a huge sound in passive mode. The East Uni-Pre 4K provides active highs, basses, parametric mids and guarantees best sound management. From "modern" to "old school", from Jaco to Marcus and beyond, we put everything into the Inlaw - just waiting for you to pull it out.
