Like a firmer feel under your fingers? The Goddess starts with a 35-inch scale. That extra inch over a typical 34-inch bass increases string tension at the same tuning and gauge. If a longer scale suits your right-hand attack, it is a useful reason to put this Minarik on your list.

A five-piece maple-and-mahogany neck runs through the body, with a maple top, tone chambers and two humbuckers completing the build. Transparent Crimson Red and gold hardware give the Goddess shape plenty of presence under the lights.

• Transparent Crimson Red finish and gold hardware
• Five-piece maple-and-mahogany neck-through construction
• Maple top with tone chambers
• 35-inch scale and 22 frets
• Dual humbucking pickups
