Limited Edition Delgada Bass
Inspired by the greatest vintage basses of all time, First Act's luthiers have designed the Limited Edition Delgada Bass. With a signature look and fat tone, the Delgada is perfectly balanced and supremely comfortable to play.
With the success of our Limited Edition line, artists were asking for a Limited Edition bass. In our Studio for Artists, our luthiers carved a single cutaway, asymmetrical alder body and a maple neck. The smooth rosewood fretboard is punctuated with mother-of-pearl dot inlays.
Electronics include two bass humbuckers, created exclusively by Kent Armstrong for First Act, with Alnico magnets and custom chrome housings. Hardware includes Hipshot Ultra Lite clover tuners and a Hipshot convertible bridge.
The bass is quickly gaining attention in the hands of Al Berry, bassist for Avril Lavigne; Einar, bassist for Kelly Clarkson; Ryan Sinn (Angels and Airwaves, The Distillers); Jeff Matz of High on Fire (formerly of Zeke); Troy Sanders of Mastodon; Stefan Olsdal of Placebo; and Duane Propes of Little Texas.
