The Omen Extreme-5 is built for players who demand a responsive instrument that doesn't fight back. The ultra-thin Thin 'C' neck profile and extended 35-inch scale length allow your fingers to move effortlessly across the fretboard for both aggressive passages and subtle dynamics. The mahogany body with quilted maple top paired with bolt-on construction produces a punchy, articulate tone with excellent note definition and sustain. Strap this bass on and it becomes an extension of your body instantly—the kind of five-string workhorse that working musicians and experienced players rely on night after night.

The 24 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 16" fretboard radius and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut deliver clean intonation and smooth playability across the entire rosewood fingerboard, while the 6-bolt bolt-on construction locks the neck tight for responsive feel that stays consistent through your set.
