Instrument Overview
The Plunk Bass is our dedicated bass platform, built around the same structural principles as the Concision Series, translated intentionally for bass response and ergonomics.
It uses the Concision Series geometry, scaled and proportioned for bass tension, articulation, and balance.
There are no alternate configurations or response categories.
The Plunk is a single, fixed system, refined specifically for bass.
How the Plunk Behaves
The Plunk Bass is engineered for uniform response and predictable articulation across all strings.
- Shallow break angle applies controlled downward pressure at the nut
- Higher strings receive slightly more engagement
- Lower strings remain free and uncompressed
The result is a bass that feels balanced, fast, and consistent, regardless of position or technique.
Attack is immediate without harshness, and notes remain defined without excess damping.
Plunk Bass
A headless-inspired bass, with a head.
Featuring shallow nut break geometry and optimized scale and string spacing.
Designed for balanced tension, consistent articulation, and precise response across all strings.
Why This Instrument Exists
The Plunk Bass exists for players who want a bass that feels immediate, balanced, and unmistakably intentional.
Even if it looks unconventional.
Its single-cut design places the body’s mass directly into the bass-side neck shaft, reinforcing the neck’s structural stability, reducing torque under heavy low-string tension, and improving sustain and clarity on the low strings.
The added mass also helps the instrument sit naturally in the player’s hands, keeping it balanced and ergonomically stable.
Build Your Plunk
The Plunk Bass is a single, fixed platform—its geometry, hardware, and core behavior are set.
Individuality comes through materials, string count, scale length, fretboard options, spacing layout, and finish, allowing you to tailor the instrument to your preferences while preserving its engineered response.
