Features We Love:

Mahogany Body

Mahogany is a popular hardwood that's loved for its weighty feel, rich low end and smooth high-end character. Here it is partnered with an Exotic Wood laminate to give it a look usually only seen on high-end models.

Pickups

This bass sports a split single-coil pickup in the classic middle position, with its unmistakable mid-range and tone, while the addition of a J Bass style pickup in the bridge position gives you access to a host of further sounds, from shimmering cleans to satisfying growl and slap tones.

34" Scale Length

The standard 34" scale length promotes string tension without the guitar feeling uncomfortable, great for all styles of music and can even handle some down-tuning if required.
