Vader Bass

The VADER BASS was the first Kiesel bass to take advantage of a headless construction's multiple benefits, as seen in the compact body that capitalizes on every detail. A 30” scale length is available to complement the modest size as opposed to the standard 34” scale length. Modern features are littered throughout the design, such as the tapering top bevel.
