The Saturn is specially designed for players who want a more traditional sound and feel, but prefer a modern instrument with improved balance, playability and ergonomics. Designed to produce a solid low B-string and an even tone across the neck, it does not have the ghost notes and wolf notes vintage instruments are known for. The Saturn is available with traditional passive or modern active electronics.

The Hollow33 is based on the Jupiter design and features a completely hollow body which is very similar in construction to an acoustic or steel-stringed guitar. However, instead of having traditionally bent sides, the body is cut out of a solid piece of wood, with sides measuring 5/8” (15mm) in thickness.
The top and back of the Hollow33 are free to resonate and are designed to minimize feedback and maximize the acoustic sound when the bass is amplified. Due to its lower-rigidity design, the Hollow33 generates a warmer sound with more overtones and more complex notes.
Supported only partially by the body wood, the Hollow33’s bridge absorbs the vibrations from the strings and transfers them to the top and back. This absorption of string energy makes the strings vibrate in a specific pattern, which is registered by the pickups, creating a unique, upright-like acoustic sound with long-sustaining notes.
Because the body is cut out of a solid piece of wood, we are able to round its edges for a much more comfortable feel. The average weight of the Hollow33 four-string is under 3kg (6.6lbs), making it a breeze to play.
The Saturn has a bolt-on neck. Attached with five strategically placed screws, it is tight-fitting and has improved strength and stability. The heel is comfortably shaped, giving the player easy access all the way up to the top fret..
A bolt-on construction produces punchier notes, whilst the double-cut body gives a more familiar feel and benefits players who like to play with their left thumb wrapped around the neck..
For players who are seeking for a more vintage sound, the Saturn is also available with our Jazz pickups. In combination with the more traditional woods and our stable laminated neck construction, these pickups produce a sound that strikes the perfect balance between modern and vintage – a sound many players are looking for.
For players who are looking for a more modern bass, we also offer our modern pickups, like the Haeussel BassBars, which are available with custom wooden pickup covers as standard, or our RampbarXL – a large, radiused wooden cover that also functions as an integrated ramp. The Haeussel BassBars are also individually switchable by means of three-way toggle switches, providing nine different sound combinations.
We make custom basses for and with our customers, and each bass is designed to meet the player’s specific needs. Using our extensive option list, you can personalize your Saturn to your preferred specifications. We offer a wide range of neck, fingerboard and body woods to allow you to achieve your desired sound, and a variety of scale lengths and string spacings to match your technique. Details like wooden knobs, wooden pickup covers and inlays can be tailored to match your personal style.
Feel free to discuss your wishes with us. We would be happy to guide you through the option list, answer any questions you may have, and advise you on the possible options.
