Hope TB2 30-Inch Short-Scale Bass in Teddy Bear Brown with Fralin Custom Big Single TBird (passive) Pickup Set and V-V-T (Passive) Electronics

Hope TB2 Features:

Carved Spanish Cedar Body
Spanish cedar is nice and light with a clear, resonant, and balanced tone. It has been likened to the mahogany from old growth trees used in electric guitars back in the 50s when it was still widely available.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Hades Roasted Maple Neck with Wenge Fretboard
Our new 2+2 headstock design features our O* logo inlaid in mother of pearl acrylic. The super dark roasted maple has been finished with a oil/poly/beeswax blend that feels amazing. The wenge fretboard adds a nice high end sparkle to your tone, similar to ebony.

Fralin Passive Pickups and Electronics
The pickups are a Fralin Big Single T-Bird set that we have custom made for us. These pickups have a fat single coil tone in a hum-cancelling package. They are based on Fralin's hum-cancelling P-90 design, just without the screw slugs, giving them a smoother attack. They have definitely become our new favorite pickups. The electronics feature a traditional volume/volume/tone passive set of controls.

Leo Quan Badass Bridge and Tuners
The Badass Bass III bridge has long been a favorite looking to improve sustain. The OGT Mini tuners help add to that with their solid brass posts.

DR Hi-Beam Strings
DR Strings are a favorite among many pro musicians. Stainless steel Hi-Beams are nice and bright and last a long time.

Gator 4G Gig Bag
A pro level gig bag with 20mm of padding to protect your investment.

Light Weight
The bass weighs in under 7 lbs., making those long gigs a lot easier on the shoulder and low back.
