The Guttlin Duchess Bass in Arctic White Matt is a stunning blend of vintage soul and modern craftsmanship—designed for players who crave distinctive style with commanding tone. Its clean satin-white aesthetic is bold yet refined, elevated by a classic black plastic pickguard and a pair of PBass-style pickup and bridge covers that add timeless appeal. With meticulous construction and boutique features, this bass feels built with purpose in every detail.

Its resonant African mahogany body provides a rich tonal foundation with deep lows and midrange presence, while the bolt-on maple neck adds clarity and punch. The neck’s Medium C profile offers familiar comfort in hand, and the sleek 34" scale ensures ideal tension and response for a broad range of styles. Topped with a premium ebony fretboard, the Duchess delivers a smooth, fast feel under the fingers, accented by 8mm position dots for easy on-stage visibility. A durable bone nut (42.5mm width) enhances sustain and intonation stability.

Equipped with 20 Jescar medium jumbo frets, the instrument boasts modern playability while preserving classic attitude. Adjustments are easy and precise thanks to the two-way truss rod with 4mm imbus access and a handsome white plastic truss rod cover. Premium Grover Elephant Ear tuners ensure rock-solid tuning and contribute to the bass’s unmistakable vintage vibe.

At the heart of the Duchess’ sound is the SC BARBAR Blade Pickup, handmade in-house by Guttlin. This pickup offers full, articulate bass tones—capturing everything from tight, punchy attack to rounded, thumpy warmth. Paired with Guttlin Black knobs for intuitive control, the electronics are minimalist and effective, letting the craftsmanship and pickup design speak for themselves. A vintage PBass-style bridge enhances sustain while keeping the feel authentic for players drawn to the classics.

Finished with a screenprinted Guttlin logo, the Duchess Bass embodies the spirit of boutique luthiery: distinctive design, quality materials, and performance that inspires. The Arctic White Matt finish gives it a modern look, while its tone and hardware honor the roots of electric bass tradition—making it a true standout for players seeking character, comfort, and sonic authority.
