The Bad Stain Noize Weapons Cochise Series Portal Bass Guitar has a versatile tone that was specifically designed for use at live shows.

Bad Stain President, Chase Stain, has performed hundreds of live shows, and would often play an Ibanez SoundGear Bass. Stain made the decision to create the Cochise Series, a Bad Stain Bass Guitar that is inspired by the SoundGear Bass.

The Portal plays smooth and is a great bass for new players and was designed for use as a secondary backup bass for live gigs.
