Magneto Launches New Sonnet Supreme, Debuts Bass Range and Expands Core Lineup

Magneto have introduced several new models to their lineup, featuring the new Sonnet Supreme, the brand’s first-ever bass guitars, and updates to both the Starlux and Eric Gales signature models.

Sonnet Supreme (US-5000)

Leading the release is the new Sonnet Supreme (US-5000) – a premium addition based on the established Sonnet shape. Built with a basswood body and a distinctive figured top, the US-5000 blends refined aesthetics with performance-focused design.

A floating tremolo system, combined with staggered locking tuners and a bone nut, ensures excellent tuning stability and optimal string vibration. The roasted maple neck, finished in warm brown, is paired with a rosewood fingerboard for a smooth, responsive feel.

A key feature of the Sonnet Supreme is its new pickup configuration. An MPMN‑1 mini humbucker works alongside two MPRS‑5 single coils, offering enhanced top-end clarity thanks to the mini humbucker’s lower output and smaller footprint. The result is a balanced voice that retains single-coil detail while delivering a full, creamy tone with strong sustain. The US-5000 is also equipped with Sanko frets, Magneto Metro Pole pickups and includes a padded Magneto gigbag.

Ruby Bass (RB-3000)

The Ruby Bass is a modern short-scale instrument built around a 30″ scale length — a format that has seen a strong resurgence in recent years. Compact and comfortable, it delivers a rich, full low-end without sacrificing power.

It features custom MAP‑1 and MAJ‑1 pickups, carefully positioned for maximum low-end response, alongside a basswood body and a stable layered maple neck. A rosewood fingerboard with distinctive Ruby inlays adds visual character, while a bone nut and vintage-style bridge ensure strong tonal transfer. Volume, tone and balance controls provide straightforward shaping, making the Ruby Bass a versatile and expressive option. Supplied with padded Magneto gigbag.

Topaz Bass (TB-1400)

The Topaz Bass offers a more traditional 34″ scale, designed for players seeking a solid, full-bodied tone across a wide range of styles.

Built with a basswood body, three-piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, the Topaz is fitted with MCP‑2 (neck) and MCM‑2 (bridge) pickups for a deep, punchy low-end suited to modern playing. Independent volume controls for each pickup and a master tone allow flexible yet intuitive control. Supplied with a padded Magneto gigbag, the Topaz is a reliable, no-nonsense addition to the range.

Starlux Fixed Bridge (SL-4500)

The Starlux now features a fixed Tune‑o‑matic bridge and stop tailpiece, offering increased sustain, improved tuning stability and a more direct, resonant response. Retaining its original 1950s-inspired concept, the semi-hollow basswood body provides strong resonance while remaining lightweight and comfortable. Twin humbuckers deliver a broad tonal range that extends beyond traditional retro voicings, supported by a stable three-piece maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with signature Starlux inlays. Supplied with padded Magneto gigbag.
