The Bunker BTX Bass

Bunker Mission: Build a high tech modern bass that has better sound and sustain than any other bass on the market, all while being priced much lower than anything that even closely compares. End Result: The Bunker BTX Bass

When I was playing on the Television on other basses I did not get the bass to come through the sound system very well, but when I played the Tension Free 5 string Bass built for me by Dave Bunker it cut through with such presence and clarity, it was so refreshing, I recently told Dave about how I had used the Picalo type Bass he built me to lay down some great tracks on one of my newest solo albums. - John B. Williams

The Bunker BTX is a Bunker Bass Best!

This BTX bass is an elegantly styled modern bass that proudly features a 5 piece quarter sawn Bunker Tension Free Neck and the Bunker Individual Bass Bridge system. These two features provide tremendous benefit to sustain and sound.

This high end luxury bass is unlike any other bass you've ever played. In the studio or on stage it has the power and sustain that other basses just can't get. The BTX bass combined with the Tension free neck system is an unbeatable combination.

The Bunker BTX Basses Are Truly The Top Basses in The World.

The Bunker BTX bass guitar offers better sound and sustain than any other production bass available. Bunker is able to make this bold claim in part due to their many years of experience building stringed instruments.

Besides building stringed instruments for many years, bunker harvests their very own guitar tone woods. The BTX bass is literally crafted from the tree to your hands by Bunker, or as it has been coined 'Stump to Stage'. These woods are hand selected and milled and dried to perfection.

Bunker also uses the latest in electronics and hardware, many of which are designed and built in house. Bunker combines the hands on skill and craftsmanship of their great luthiers with their computerized router capability (CNC), and other technology to create a electric bass best!

The Bunker BTX bass also proudly features the exclusive Bunker Individual Bass Bridge System, which among its many features isolates each string and eliminates all cross talk between strings. .

The Incredible Tension Free Neck System

However, the BTX bass crowning glory is the incredible Tension Free Neck system.The Tension Free Neck system gives the Bunker BTX bass more clarity; better tone, smoother lows, more consistent quality sound, and virtually eliminates all dead spots!

Many thousands of guitar players have realized and benefit from the Tension Free Neck system. Indeed the benefits on a guitar are tremendous, but they are astoundingly more noticeable on a bunker bass. The BTX bass combined with the Tension Free Neck system is an unbeatable combination.

The Benefits of The Tension Free Neck Include:

• Increased clarity of tone
• More sustain
• More consistent tone
• Less tension on the neck
• Easier to bend strings
• Easier to play
• More even balanced tone on the strings
• Lifetime warranty on neck
• Easier to adjust set up
• Easier to adjust the action

And MANY More!

Because there is no tension on the wood, the neck is free to resonate, thus, delivering tremendous sustain, and tone. What this translates for you is greater tone range, less frequent tuning, and strings that last longer.

Not only do you get all of the above, but you also get the peace of mind knowing that your Tension Free Neck comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

However, the BTX not only has the advantage and features afforded by the Tension Free Neck, but it also has the benefit of the Bunker Individual Bass Bridge system!

Bunker Individual Bass Bridge System Benefits

The Bunker individual bridge system isolates each string, which stops cross talk or errant noise between the bass strings. Tests using spectrum analyzers confirmed that if the bass bridges were mounted individually, almost all cross talk could be eliminated. The better the tonal “stop” the greater the sound clarity.

Where conventional bass bridges simply could not adequately dampen the vibration, Bunker’s unique, patented bridge system does, and the purity of tone is impressively retained.

The benefits of this bridge can be realized on a bass guitar with a traditional truss rod type neck, however, the tremendous boost in sustain and sound that the Tension Free Neck provides serves to magnify the benefits of this already incredible bridge. Together, these two incredible pieces of technology work together to create a bass guitar that sounds and plays better than any of the top basses!
