Daniel Firth Hellraiser Extreme-5 Signature Bass


Daniel Firth has been the bassist for the legendary British extreme metal band Cradle of Filth for over 12 years. His signature bass is based on the standard Hellraiser Extreme-5, but Daniel has opted for his own finish called Cthulhu Burst Satin and instead of EMG pickups he prefers Fishman Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups.

Available in the finish/color variants:


Benefits

Fishman Fluence Bass-Pickups

Fishman Fluence pickups are innovative, noiseless pickups with a Fluence Core, an active, multi-voice capable material. This allows for a versatile tonal range from vintage-inspired tones to modern, high-gain sounds. By eliminating traditional coils, they minimize unwanted noise and hum, especially at high gain levels. The integrated preamps improve the output level and enable precise sound shaping. Some models offer push-pull pots for seamless switching between different sound profiles without additional switches.

Grover® Bass-Tuner

Grover® tuners are high-quality, precise tuning mechanisms. As key components for tuning stringed instruments, Grover® tuners are designed to ensure stable tuning while allowing for easy and precise fine-tuning.

Neck-Thru Bass

A "Neck-Thru" neck represents a sophisticated and high-quality construction. In contrast to basses with screwed or glued necks, the neck extends through the entire body of the bass. A key advantage of the neck-thru design is improved string transfer and longer sustain. Another plus point is easier access to higher frets. Due to the continuous neck, bassists can easily play up to the highest frets without a neck-body connection getting in the way.

Bass Fretboard: Ebony

An ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear and precise tone quality. The dense structure of the wood allows the string vibrations to be efficiently transferred to the body, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with clear highs and well-defined mids.

Quilted Maple Top

Quilted Maple wood is characterized by its striking pattern of wavy or "quilted" features, giving the instrument a unique and luxurious look. This type of wood is often chosen for its natural beauty and exclusivity. Aside from the visual appeal, the Quilted Maple blanket also offers tonal benefits. The wood often has a bright and clear tonal quality, which particularly emphasizes the overtones.
