Headless Made Better

Space 5 headless 5-string bass features a headless design with a Poplar Burl top on the soft Maple body to ensure a great balance between tight full sounding lows with bright and transparent highs. In addition to that, the beautiful wood grain of the Poplar Burl top provides a natural organic aesthetic.

Bartolini® MK-1 Pickups and Active 3-band EQ Preamp

MK-1 pickups deliver plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs giving the Space 5 bass a superbly balanced sound. The accompanying active 3-band EQ preamp enables players to equalize and fine tune the perfect tone with its low, mid, and high frequency adjustment knobs.

7-Piece Neck - Roasted Maple, Walnut, Purple Heart & Maple

Space 5 headless 5-string bass neck is constructed of Roasted Maple, renowned for its focused midrange, takes centre stage, bolstered by the punchy clarity of purple heart and the rich warmth of walnut. This carefully considered combination maximizes the bright, clear, and fast-response characteristics of the maple body, providing excellent clarity and transparency even in the low-end frequencies.

Zero Fret

The zero fret does the job of the bass nut by setting the string height over the fretboard when being played open. The nut is still used as a guide to set the string spacing before going to the tuners. Since the nut is not responsible for the open notes, players can change to any string gauge without worrying about resizing or replacing the nut, and be free from any unwanted friction between the nut and the strings.
