Description
The Kiloton 5 is the new 5-string version of the Kiloton which was introduced in 2016 as a 4-string. The 5-string version uses the 1 7/8" Modern C5 neck (previously only available on the JB-5). The scale length is 34", and the string spacing is 17mm. The wider nut of the Modern C5 neck does help make the string spacing feel just a bit wider than on G&L's other 5-string neck (the #10).
This bass weighs 9.3 lbs.
