If you’re looking for a unique Skyline model, you’ve found it here in the Hutch Hutchinson Signature Skyline. Starting with an offset body of ash, this signature bass offers a bolt-on maple neck with a comfortable U-shape for non-stop grooving. A rosewood fingerboard with 10-inch radius continues that smooth playability and is perfectly set off by stunning block inlays. The short scale length measures in at 30 inches and you’ll have 19 frets to work your low-end magic upon. Hipshot Ultralite tuners keep your tuning rock solid and a Lakland Dual Access bridge and tailpiece transfer resonance incredibly well throughout the ash body.

Key features
Vintage-inspired design: The HH-30 was created in collaboration with session musician James "Hutch" Hutchinson and features an offset ash body with a classic look.
Versatile P/J pickup configuration: The combination of a split-coil "Neo Punch" pickup in the neck and a single-coil "Vintage hot J" in the bridge provides a wide tonal palette. This allows for a deep, fat, and warm sound from the neck pickup, a bright, articulate sound from the bridge pickup, and a blend of both.
Comfortable short scale: With a 30-inch scale length, the bass is more manageable for players with smaller hands or guitarists transitioning to bass.
Smooth playability: The U-shaped neck profile and 1.5" nut width offer a comfortable and fast-playing feel. The Plek'd fretwork on some models ensures excellent fretwork and precise intonation.
