The Brian Bromberg-designed B24 is a fusion between "old school" and "new school". The flow of the body running analogous to that of the headstock and the traditional sound provided by its radiused Radium pickups is the perfect blend of the two styles. Compared to previous designs, the upper horn is further extended to align with the 12th fret, which, according to Bromberg in a 2011 interview, "means it balances… in playing position". The bottom horn keeps the same aesthetical vibe of the bass's design, but curves along the leg to create a natural balance while seated. As a whole, the bass offers an ergonomic flow that creates maximized comfort.
