One of the electric bass’s most enduring styles, the Fret-King® Perception™ has been the instrument of choice for independent thinking bass players for nearly three decades. Synonymous with the needs of the journeyman bass player, delivering outstanding tone, feel and balance, the active Perception™ Custom speaks to the bass player’s love of tradition and introduces thoughtful innovation in the form of a truly outstanding pickup and preamp combination from Aguilar. The enduring style, superb balance, comfort and feel of the Perception are exactly what works, with a contemporary twist that remains friendly and comfortable the Perception Custom has it all.

The selected American alder body, with bookmatched flame maple front 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.

I would not recommend this.
Size: 0.75 Ounce (Pack of 2)
For me it only helped for about 15 minutes at the most. I do NOT want to have to keep spraying all day!

Helps with dry mouth
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I purchased this because I’ve noticed as I get older that my mouth produces less saliva. I have been experiencing dry mouth more and more often, especially at night. I started mouth taping and using xylitol melts and I’ve seen a huge improvement in my overall oral health. They are easy to use, taste good and were comfortable overnight. Highly recommend.

Instant Results
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been struggling with dry mouth for some time due to Sjorgens disease. After trying various remedies with little success, I stumbled upon these Xylitol tabs, and I can’t believe how fast they worked. From the first use, I noticed a significant difference. The tabs dissolve quickly and have a pleasant, refreshing flavor that instantly alleviates that uncomfortable dry feeling. Not only do they help stimulate saliva production, but they also keep my mouth feeling moist for a longer rime. If you’re dealing with dry mouth, I highly recommend giving these Xylitol tabs a try. They're a game-changer!

Works well!
Scent Name: Berry, Size: 40 Count (Pack of 1)
Nice flavor. They don’t melt real fast like the ACT I’ve been using. They are smaller than I thought and I didn’t think they would last as long as they do. Keeping my mouth/throat moist as they said. I like the way they stick to your mouth and you don’t have to worry about swolling accidentally!
