The removable rear extension supports your heel, and the anti-slip surface keeps the Stompin’ Bass in place. Toneful bubinga wood houses Shadow’s high quality, patented NanoMag pickup. Combined they produce a very natural, deep, warm percussive sound. The Stompin’ Bass is shielded making it free from noise and interference.

Because of the NanoMAG pickup and the active electronics inside the Stompin’Bass supplies, unlike other similar percussive products, a full, deep and warm bass sound. As it is a humbucker, it is free of 50/60Hz hum. A completely shielded case and low impedance output protect it from outside magnetic disturbances and makes it totally hum-free.

The electronic circuitry is powered by a single 9V battery with extremely low power consumption. The battery turns on automatically, as soon as you plug the instrument cable into the endpin jack. To prolong battery life, take the cable out, when not in use.

Depending on your equipment and its EQ setup, the material of your shoes and how hard you stomp you will get different sounds.

The Stompin’Bass has a standard output jack which can be plugged straight into any PA or EQ, pedal, guitar amplifier you like, to produce the tone and volume which best suits your style.

It even comes with its own special carry case.
