Christopher Willcox, President and Chief Designer of Willcox Guitars and LightWave Systems, unveiled the Stylus Electric Upright Bass at the 2016 NAMM Winter Market with much acclaim. Stylus is the first Electric Upright Bass powered by the exclusive LightWave Analog Optical Pickup System.

This groundbreaking new instrument features a solid mahogany body with a burled maple top; a maple neck laminated with purpleheart stringers; a pau ferro fingerboard, and an open headstock with matching burl maple cap. The scale length is 41”. Controls include Master Volume, Bass Boost and Cut, Mids Boost and Cut, Mid Sweep, and the iceTone Blend. The instrument has a standard tripod mount.
