Identity
The Hartwood Satellite takes inspiration from classic offset basses, pairing vintage-inspired styling with a focused, no-nonsense sound. Its split coil pickup delivers warm lows, punchy mids, and clear articulation that sits naturally in the mix across a wide range of genres. With straightforward volume and tone controls, shaping your sound feels immediate and intuitive, keeping the focus on feel and musicality rather than complexity. The result is a bass that feels dependable, expressive, and full of understated character.
Feel
In the hands, the Satellite feels smooth, balanced, and easy to play for long sessions. Its 32-inch medium scale length offers a comfortable middle ground between traditional long-scale punch and short-scale ease, reducing string tension while maintaining clarity and definition. The roasted maple neck and satin C-shaped profile create a fast, natural playing experience, while the contoured offset body sits comfortably whether standing or seated. Stable hardware and a reliable hardtail bridge complete a bass that feels responsive, consistent, and ready for both rehearsal rooms and live performance.
