Its slim C-shaped mahogany neck, cutaway body, open-gear tuners, and Fishman CD-1 preamp provide comfortable playability and reliable performance for home, studio, and stage use.
Solid Sitka Spruce Top with Laminated Mahogany Back and Sides
A solid Sitka spruce top provides crisp projection, clarity, and dynamic response, while laminated mahogany back and sides add warmth, depth, and balanced resonance for a full-bodied acoustic bass tone.
Slim C-Shaped Mahogany Neck with Satin Finish
The satin-finished mahogany neck features a comfortable slim C profile and 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, offering smooth playability and effortless navigation across the fretboard.
Cutaway Acoustic Bass Body Design
The sculpted cutaway allows easy access to higher frets for melodic playing while maintaining powerful low-end projection and acoustic resonance.
Fishman CD-1 Preamp System
Integrated Fishman electronics provide natural amplified bass tones with volume, bass, treble, phase controls, and a built-in tuner for convenient stage performance.
Open-Gear Tuning Machines
Vintage-inspired open-gear tuners feature modern gearing for precise adjustments and dependable tuning stability during extended playing sessions.
Walnut Fingerboard
The walnut fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface with enhanced durability and a warm tonal character that complements the instrument's acoustic voice.
Scalloped X-Bracing Construction
Scalloped X-bracing improves resonance, sustain, and projection while maintaining structural stability and balanced tonal response.
Micarta Nut and Saddle
Micarta components enhance string-to-string balance and optimize tonal transfer, improving sustain and overall acoustic performance.
Phosphor Bronze Strings
Factory-installed phosphor bronze strings produce rich, full-bodied bass tones with excellent warmth, projection, and longevity.
