Solar's bass range covers four and five-string instruments made to the same value-focused brief as the brand's guitars.
Watch
Why it matters
Solar's model is to sell largely through its own store, which is how the basses undercut comparable instruments from the established Japanese and American brands. The Type AB design follows the angular shape of the guitar range, so a matched guitar and bass can be ordered. The range splits into the S by Solar budget tier and the Solar-branded AB1 and AB2 models above it.
