So hot you may get your fingers burned.

The premium version of Don Lace's new "Lace Red Label Series" basses, this eye-catching, neck-thru bass guitar features the patented Helix design, a multi-laminated construction, mahogany body, chrome hardware, dual Alumitone bass pickups, 3-way selector switches, and a master switch for volume and tone.

With its current driven design, rather the traditional voltage based pickups, the Alumitone, created by Jeff Lace, allows the musician a higher fidelity, or broad-band response, that helps to create a tighter top-end, more mid-range and a huge bottom end. This passive pickup outperforms many active systems, and the sonic output level generally exceeds that of similar preamp equipped basses. Since the Alumitone isn't like conventional pickups with a preamp and batteries, the Helix is a few pounds lighter, more environmentally friendly and cost effective. It also has an aesthetically pleasing chrome and black look. Another unique aspect of the "Lace Red Label Series" is the control knobs. Instead of the usual twist type knobs, Lace has incorporated the modern look of data system control knobs for simple, single-finger manipulation. The top strap post, as well as the output jack, is hidden on the backside, giving the Helix a cleaner look in the front. Whether you buy the solid black or transparent red or blue style, these design decisions allows you to see more of the highlights and subtleties of the natural wood grain.

The Lace Red Label Series neck-thru bass is a feast for the eyes and ears. Go ahead and splurge, it's worth it.

Don't let the looks fool you!

Reviewer's Play Style: Jazz, Rock

When I first saw this bass, I said: I'm getting one. I thank god every single that I didn't. As stunning as it looks, lots of things are wrong with this bass. First of all, the action is really bad and it goes out of tune every 15 minutes (literally). another thing is that because of it's weird shape it's really hard to play while sitting. because when you put it on your lap the neck is real low and your hands have to get in a really uncomfortable and tiring position. As for the sound, it's weak and the frets give it a buzz (specially when you pass the 14th fret. So long story short, don't let the looks fool you.
