logged, milled, and processed by Dave Bunker. Each wing has interior
cavities, for proper balance and weight characteristics. Also the wing
cavities are used for ad on “Electronic mute system”, when
used.

The “Bunker Individual Bridges”, are
excellent in isolating strings, one from the other, which eliminates almost
all cross talk, creating a more positive and explosive reaction from the
string. (Less of a muddy sound)

The “Tension Free,” neck is a patented
feature on all Bunker Guitars, and eliminates all dead spots, commonly
found on many basses. It also takes all of the string pull off of the
fingerboard, and extends the sustain qualities of each note.

for this Galaxy Stealth Bass.

is the first Bunker Galaxy bass built. It was built in Tacoma Washington in
1973 and was the first wedge type, reverse tuning bass built. It featured
wings that could easily be removed and changed, and also featured the

individual "Hex single coil pickups", and Bunker
"Individual bridge system", for string clarity and cross talk
elimination.
