superb
Equipped with precision engineered and internationally renowned Schaller hardware, specially voiced, „Lundgren
Pickups“ hand wound in Sweden, precision European craftsmanship and pride, are only a few convincing factors that
this bass can only be associated as “Super”.
Discover this revolutionary bass beauty for yourself and how this unique instrument has been
conceived as a legendary piece, since its first introduction to the world some 25 years ago.
We proudly present the Northen Series - Super Swede bass, built entirely from the
“Magnificently Rare” original Super Swede bass design. First introduced in 1980, built in a
limited quantity of merely 364 instruments, this Hagstrom bass wonderchild, has been faithfully
reproduced by the Hagstrom team to finally give players the chance to rediscover why this
legendary 4-stringer has rightfully earned its name “Super”.
As stated in Mikael Jansson’s Hagstrom book “Musik för miljoner”: The (original) Super Swede
Bass was designed by Hagstrom´s Head of Design “Per-Åke Olsson”, in collaboration with ABBA´s
bass player “Rutger Gunnarsson”. This alliance brought numerous key elements to the table by
helping to create the empowering and flowing tone of the “Super Swede Bass”, which has already
played deep into the hearts of multitudes of listeners for decades. With its profound bottom end,
defined/articulate midrange and silky top end, the Super Swede Bass perfectly gaps the bridge
between “Fullerton Hifi” and “Santa Ana bite”, with its own sonorous and unmistakable Swedish
sonic footprint. Whether you prefer to choose the neck or bridge pickup in single mode or dial up
a blend of the two with the individual volume controls, your ears will be filled with a gammut
of tonal options. Paying homage to the Vintage counterparts, the Northen Super Swede Bass
is currently available in Natural, Black Gloss and Mahogany Burst and will be shipped with an
original luxury Hagstrom Case.
