Obstructures' Model 34 is the thinnest electric bass guitar on the market, and the only bass made entirely of aluminum. Aluminum provides stiffness, uniformity, and mass for increased sustain and frequency response. A compound elliptical neck section provides optimal speed and playability; pick-up placement is chosen to minimize dead harmonic nodes; the instrument is completely ambidextrous thanks to a unique approach to the electronics cavity; and a removable fretboard allows the player nearly infinite of customization.
