ELECTRIC BASS

Benavente's bass models follow the sleek offset lines of the the 219 Bass Series (disc. 2006, last MSR prices started at $1,800 for bolt-on, $2,200 for set neck, and $2,500 for through neck), 219B (prices start at $2,700 for bolt-on, $3,000 for set neck, and $3,500 for through neck), the Standard Series (last MSR prices started at $2,100), the Custom Bolt-on Series (last MSR prices started at $875), and the Singlecut Bass Series (prices start at $3,000 for bolt-on, $3,500 for set neck, and $4,000 for through neck). The Singlecut series is available in an A, B, and J Style. Standard construction is similar to the guitar models, except feature a 21-fret fingerboard, 34 in. scale, and a Schaller roller bridge. The Hollowbody Bass is available as a bolt-on (MSR $4,000) and as a set neck (MSR $4,500). Benavente offered the J 150 model, which is a classic J-styled bass with a maple neck, ebony fingerboard, and EMG pickups (last MSR was $2,100). The 51 (MSR $2,000) is a P-Bass design from the early 50s with the Benavente touch. They also offer the Vortex, which has a little J-Bass influence, but is mostly an original design (prices start at $2,500 for bolt-on, $2,800 for set neck, and $3,300 for through neck). The Vintage Vortex is similar to the Vortex, except it has a black pickguard and chrome control plate (prices start at $2,500 bolt-on only).
