Designed after the Hamer USA Chaparral 12-string long-scale bass, the import version will feature a Mahogany body and a hard rock maple neck, with two truss rods and a split "V" headstock. The fingerboard is Rosewood with mother-of-pearl dot inlays. Two humbucking bass pickups are complemented by active electronics, adding to the versatility of this unique sounding instrument. The Chaparral bass doubles each of the four fundamental strings with two octave strings.

The Chaparral 12-string bass (CH12) retails for $1299.50 and is available in a black finish.
