E3
The E3 Lorraine Coal is a 5-string bass crafted for musicians who value precision, elegance, and sonic depth. Its name and dark grey finish pay tribute to the industrial heritage of the Lorraine region, giving the instrument a distinct and understated visual identity.
Built around a lightweight red alder body, the E3 Lorraine Coal delivers a warm, focused tone with excellent clarity. The birdseye Norwegian maple neck adds stability and brightness, while the Macassar ebony fretboard provides a fast, responsive feel under the fingers. Rounded block inlays add a subtle visual detail without compromising the instrument's refined aesthetic.
With a 34-inch scale length, a 12-16 inch compound radius, and 24 medium frets, this bass offers a modern and versatile platform suited for a wide range of playing styles — from intricate fingerstyle lines to percussive slap techniques. The S-profile neck shape ensures comfort and ease of play, whether on stage or in the studio.
Like all instruments in the E-Series, the E3 Lorraine Coal is designed as a player’s tool first — reliable, well-balanced, and crafted with care. Its design reflects a contemporary approach to electric bass, where function meets subtle luxury, and every detail serves the sound and the player.

Body : Red Alder
Alder is a lightweight, closed-grain hardwood known for its uniform density and stability. Its relatively soft texture makes it easy to machine and finish. Alder vibrates evenly across its surface, producing a balanced energy response. It is a standard choice for electric guitars due to its consistency and reliability.
Neck : Birdseye Norwegian Maple
Birdseye Maple offers the same structural properties as plain maple but features distinctive, decorative figuring caused by growth anomalies. Its medium weight, stiffness, and durability make it functionally identical to standard maple, with added visual luxury prized for high-end necks
Fretboard : Macassar Ebony
Macassar Ebony is a dense hardwood featuring dramatic dark and light striping. Its fine, tight grain offers a smooth feel with excellent wear resistance.
