Godlyke Introduces The Deity 10-String Bass Guitar

May 05, 2006

It is with great pride Godlyke introduces the supreme creation – the Deity 10-String Bass. Featuring a light-gauge 5-string arrangement (tuned B to G) with matching octave strings, the Deity-10 offers an extended frequency range simply not found on other instruments. Designed for today's extreme musician, the Deity-10 is the perfect instrument for the adventurous player who is more interested in breaking ground than re-treading it.

Tonally, the Deity-10 is in a class all its own. Bridging the gap between the low-end and the upper registers, the Deity-10 offers a massive foundation that no other instrument can match. Thunderous, punchy bottom with ringing sustained harmonics create a wall of sound that will make your rhythm guitarist obsolete, or allow you to forego a guitarist altogether (just ask John Paul Jones)! From chiming, chorused clean sounds to overdriven thunder, the Deity-10 can handle it all.

The Deity-10 Bass is completely handcrafted to our exacting specifications with no CNC tooling used in the production process whatsoever. Each instrument features the following:

Hand-carved 2-piece lightweight Ash body with 3A Flame Maple Cap
Hand-carved, Quarter sawn Maple neck set into body with dovetail joint
24-fret, Ebony Fingerboard with Brass nut
