Synonymous with the needs of the journeyman bass player, delivering outstanding tone, feel and balance, the Fret-King® Perception™ Custom speaks to the bass player’s love of tradition and introduces thoughtful innovation.

One of the electric bass’s most enduring styles the Perception™ has been the instrument of choice for independent thinking bass players for nearly three decades. The enduring style, superb balance, comfort and feel of the Perception™ are exactly what works, with a contemporary twist that remains friendly and comfortable.

Our decades of knowledge in tonewood selection and attention to detail in construction methods, electronics, hardware, and pickups are all crucial in the creation of the Fret-King® Perception™ Custom.

Perception™ Custom Features 

Body:
The selected American alder body features an extended neck joint which all coalesce to maintain the Perception Custom's elegance and purity of line, and ensure the foundations of a constructional integrity which provides strength, superb resonance, amazing sustain and a truly epic bass tone.

The unique reduced profile neck joint and subtly extended cutaway offers enhanced upper fret access. The superb overall balance and ‘Forearm Scoop’, make the Perception™ Custom a pleasure to wear.

Headstock:
The signature Fret-King headstock ensures perfect balance, classic looks, and great visual appeal.

Machine Heads:
Wilkinson® WJBL 750 mini lightweight machine heads contribute to the great balance of the instrument and provide quick, accurate, stable tuning.

Neck:
Light oil finished, hard rock Maple with classic profile for instant comfort, speed, accuracy, and a luxurious ‘played in’ feel.

Nice and slim
Color: Low Profile Oil Drain Pan for Harley
This is a really cool oil pan. The slim line allows me to put it under any of my three motorcycles without jacking the bike up. The only draw back is that it is big because of the slim design. I can live with the larger size since i don’t have to lift my motorcycles during service.

4.5 star
Color: Low Profile Oil Drain Pan for Harley, Color: Low Profile Oil Drain Pan for Harley
Id give it a 4.5 star only because the holes weren't well rounded on the interior were they punch through the mold to make the holes. Other than that I tested if it holds full of water and all seals work. The fix: grab a knife scrap the inside ring and it will fall off. If you want a more perfect feel (not rough) heat up a flat head or screwdriver that has a round stem and use that after heating to lightly melt the plastic to smoothen it out. I didnt do 2nd part dont care. Great size, will fit under motorcycles easily like my 04 zx10r.
