Bass.
Your Sound. Your Voice.
Every player hears their sound differently. Some players need articulation and clarity – others prefer warmth and weight – many search for something in between.
The Constance Bass provides a platform that allows each musician to discover and refine their own voice.
Henrix Guitars Headpiece
Manufactured from aircraft-grade aluminum – ultra light, durable and precise.
My signature design stands out through its clean, distinctive lines. The integrated polygon not only reflects on Henrix Guitars visual identity, but also reveals the instrument’s string count.
Luminlay Side Dots & Stainless Steel Frets
The luminlay side dots ensure perfect visibility, even in the darkest venues. Just a quick charge under light and your markers glow in the dark, guiding your fretting hand with confidence.
The stainless steel frets offer unmatched durability and a smooth playing surface. They resist wear, deliver clear articulation and make every movement feel effortless.
Neck Construction
The extended neck heel increases the contact area between neck and body to maximize resonance, sustain and tonal clarity.
At the same time, it provides unrestricted access to all 24 frets, giving players total freedom across the entire fretboard.
Nova FRFR Pickups With Filterpreamp
The Nova FRFR (full range, flat response) pickups are designed to capture the natural voice of Henrix Guitars Basses with stunning clarity.
The Filterpreamp gives you the ability to find your personal tone. From glassy cleans to articulate mids or heavier voicings, you can dial in your own sonic space in the band mix.
Riviera Tuning Machines
With their precise gear ratio and silk-smooth operation, the Riviera hardware makes tuning effortless and highly accurate.
Engineered for maximum stability, these machines hold your pitch even under the toughest playing conditions – whether practicing at home, recording in the studio or performing live.
Find Your Place In The Mix.
Most bass electronics are designed around boosting and cutting frequencies. The Constance Bass follows a different philosophy.
At its core are custom Nova FRFR pickups and a dual filterpreamp, designed to reveal the natural voice and character of the instrument. Instead of adding more EQ, the player is able to shape the character of the instrument by focusing attention on different frequency ranges. This gives the player exceptional control to how that voice sits in a mix.
Whether the goal is a focused modern sound, a warm vintage-inspired voice or something entirely personal, the controls encourage exploration rather than limitation.
The result is not simply more tonal options. It is the ability to find the sound that feels right for your music, your band and your playing style.
Wood Stock.
Every Henrix instrument begins long before the first cut is made. It starts with a careful selection of wood.
Even when two instruments share identical specifications, no two pieces of wood are ever truly the same. The natural variation in grain structure and figuring ensures that every instrument develops its own character.
This is no inconsistency. This is authenticity.
Available Adjustments.
Every Constance Bass follows a clear defined concept. To accomodate individual requirements, selected specifications can be adjusted upon request.

Selected custom inlays may be available upon request. To maintain the overall design language of the instrument, custom inlays are evaluated on an individual basis.
Richlite was selected for its consistency, durability and long-term stability. Unlike natural wood, it is not affected by variations in grain structure and remains highly reliable under changing environmental conditions, making it an ideal choice for a modern performance instrument.
Yes. Available top woods can be viewed and selected in the wood stock.
Yes. The top woods can be applied to the front and back of the instrument. This option creates a more cohesive appearance and highlights the natural beauty of the chosen wood combination from every angle.
Electronics.
