Luthier's Access Group...Hanewinckel 5 Strings

Hanewinckel 5 Strings
Players, the wait is over, and the wait was well worth it.

Pete Hanewinckel’s first 2 basses for LAG have arrived and they are a matched set of twins. Everything is the same, except one is bolt-on, one is neck-thru.
This will be interesting.

To the basses – both are Signature models, Reactor body style, with Alder bodies, beautifully figured tops, headstock veneers ( front and rear ), and control cavity covers of Myrtle wood. The finish is hand rubbed oil . a minimum of 9 coats. This really enhances the beauty of the wood.

The 35” scale nine piece necks are upgraded Birdseye Maple and Wenge with Wenge fingerboards.

The electronics are Pete’s favorite – Bartolini soapbars with a Bart 18V NS2TMB 3 band EQ featuring a 3 position mid frequency selector switch and series / “P” switch.

The “P” puts the 4 magnet pickups into a PBass configuration, shutting off a pair diagonally opposing pickups.
Great tone and variety of tones on these basses.

The string spacing is 3/4” at the bridge ( Pete also offers a slightly narrower 11/16” as an option ).
The hardware is black, with Gotoh tuners and Pete’s own custom machined brass bridge.

All Hanewinckel basses are supplied with a nicely padded gig bag, leather strap and tool kit.

We are please and proud to offer you players these fine basses from a very talented builder, Pete Hanewinckel. Pete, we thrilled to be able to work with you.

The bolt-on is Sold. The neck-thru is $3,250.
