Sleek shred machine built for speed, precision and powerful performance.

The Legator Helio 5 String Bass Super Shred Series bass guitar provides an incredibly fast neck and powerful pickups for bassists seeking to push the limits of speed and performance. Its lightweight basswood body offers hours of comfortable play during intense practice sessions. An ultra-thin, three-piece maple neck allows for lightning-fast runs and complex fingerings with 24 jumbo frets. Aftershock Bass humbucking pickups deliver a thunderous low end with crisp highs to cut through any mix.

Play at Lightning Speed

The Helio Bass Super Shred Series' thin modern C neck profile and 35" scale length facilitate rapid playing across the ebony fingerboard. Its 18" radius and medium jumbo stainless steel frets enable effortless string bending and vibrato. The set-thru neck joint provides rigid stability for precision fretting at intense tempos. Overall, this bass feels like an extension of your hands so you can focus on pushing the boundaries of bass technique.

Thunderous Tone That Cuts Through

Aftershock Bass humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge positions pump out huge lows, articulate mids and sizzling highs to match the Helio Bass' lightning-fast performance. An active 3-band EQ and master volume provide tone-shaping to suit any genre or playing style. Toggle between active and passive modes to go from modern clarity to vintage warmth. However you set the controls, these pickups deliver a fat, aggressive tone that cuts through loud stage volumes.

Premium Components for Professional Use

Designed for serious bassists, the Helio Bass Super Shred Series features pro-level components to handle the demands of daily performance and practice. Its fixed Legator Pro Bass Monorail bridge offers rock-solid tuning stability and sustain. Legator Pro Bass tuners keep this 5-string bass in precise tuning. A durable gloss polyurethane finish protects the basswood top and burl veneer from the inevitable dings and scratches of pro use. Overall, this bass is built to keep up with the most dedicated shredders.
