Mt. Juliet, TN, July 15, 2024… Bajo quinto players who want a uniquely stunning instrument, without the delay and expense of a fully custom bajo, can now choose from a new series of dazzling options from H. Jimenez. The new Colección de Galaxia premium line of bajo quintos features spectacular colors and designs inspired by the cosmos.
This captivating Galaxy Collection offers glamorous, premium details on every bajo. Each instrument in the series features a solid headstock with black hardware, moon phase fingerboard inlay, and a sunfire sound hole rosette. Players can choose from five models, each with a unique finish that reflects the beauty and mystery of the universe: Aurora Borealis (Blue to Purple Color Changing Sparkle finish), Antares (Red Sparkle finish), Moon Dust (Silver Sparkle finish), Cosmic Nebula (Turquoise Sparkle finish), and the flagship model, the satin Mexica Calendar with a lasered natural top.
Musicians won’t have to sacrifice optimal performance for these luxurious looks either. H. Jimenez has developed each instrument with state-of-the-art technology to support the pro player’s every need. H. Jimenez incorporates an adjustable truss rod for easy neck adjustments on every bajo in the collection. Two-time Latin Grammy winner Juan Treviño discusses how valuable this feature is, especially when he takes his H. Jimenez bajo on the road: “When I’m out of town, the humidity can change the wood. With the truss rod, you can easily adjust the neck and action back to how you had it at home.”
The Colección de Galaxia bajos each feature a bajo-voiced Fishman active pickup with volume control, for a strong, crisp output. Each model also has D’Addario J-85 strings, which are specially designed for a balanced tone and long-lasting performance.
With a beautiful, high-performance instrument, H. Jimenez recognizes players need to protect and transport their investment, so each Galaxia bajo comes with a wood H. Jimenez hardshell case to protect their instrument.
H. Jimenez offers a standard 1-year warranty on electronics and a premium limited lifetime warranty on workmanship. The Colección de Galaxia will be available soon from authorized H. Jimenez dealers nationwide. For more information, visit: https://hjimenezinstruments.com/product-category/instruments/bajo-quintos/coleccion-de-galaxia/
