Tyche Short Scale Bass

The newest member of the Whalehazard family, the Tyche is designed with comfort and ease of use in mind. This design fits in with the rest of the lineup, but has sleek clean lines for a very modern look, and is Andy’s favorite design. A 30” scale with a slim, narrow body and comfortable contours make it a great option for a variety of players. All the accessibility of a short scale bass in a high end package. Lightweight and very fun to play, the Tyche doesn’t lack any punch and should have no trouble providing all your low frequency needs.  Available in a wide range of wood and finish choices, as well as electronics and hardware.
