The Gateway Bass is Top 10 Bass of the year by NoTreble Users
The Gateway Bass, a bass guitar that carries many of the aspects of a double bass is been named one of the Top 10 Basses of Year 2020 by No Treble users. Its stripped-down look includes a blue pine wormwood body and a maple neck. The crossover really starts at the ebony fingerboard, but even more apparent is the use of double bass strings.

The Gateway is Bass of The Week on No Treble Magazine
Jason Burns of Blast Cult has been building upright basses for years, but lately, he’s been getting more into the electric side of things with models like the Thirty Two and the Magic 13. His passion for basses of both kinds led to the creation of the Gateway Bass, a bass guitar that carries many of the aspects of a double bass. As a result, Blast Cult says it “sounds more like a double bass than an electric guitar.” Its stripped-down look includes a blue pine wormwood body and a maple neck. The crossover really starts at the ebony fingerboard, but even more apparent is the use of double bass strings. Burns fits the Gateway… READ MORE HERE
