Breedlove Discovery S Concert Edgeburst Bass CE Sitka Spruce/Mahogany

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Breedlove Discovery S Concert Edgeburst Bass CE Sitka Spruce/Mahogany is a stunning, compact acoustic bass that's perfect for the bassist looking to bring the low end to any acoustic situation, whether unplugged, live or in the studio. The Concert model is Breedlove's most popular, delivering a balance between compact comfort and big body sound that lends itself superbly to any playing situation. This model features a classic choice of Sitka Spruce top for a guitar with plenty of clarity and projection, and Ecotonewood layered mahogany back and sides. The other great features include the slim Breedlove profile mahogany neck, slightly short and highly playable 32" scale length, pinless bridge and superb appointments like the handsome rosette and body binding and the edgeburst finish.

The Discovery S Concert Bass CE also comes rigged with the superb Fishman Presys I pickup and preamp system. Fishman are rightly well known for their high quality guitar electronics, so you can be assured of a superb recreation of your guitar's natural tone.

As a company, one of Breedlove's main focuses is on the ecological impact of the materials they use to produce their superb instruments. To this end, they insist on several policies as a company including never utilising wood from clear-cut stock, and only using fallen or sustainably felled trees. The result is a bass built with fantastic quality materials without impacting the future of the environment.

Features We Love:

Solid Top

Breedlove guitars all sport sustainably sourced solid wood tops for maximum tonal character and projection. This model features a handsome Western Red Cedar top. Often an overlooked choice of tonewood, Western Red Cedar has a warmth an glow to its sound that responds wonderfully to fingerstyle playing and light strumming.

Ecotonewood Back & Sides

Breedlove's Layered Ecotonewood back & sides aren't just the old basic plywood with a fancy veneer, instead, utilising three layers of sustainably sourced tonewood. This construction method has been developed by Breedlove to deliver all the durability and low-cost-benefits of layered woods, while avoiding the typically soft-center of ply that can dampen tonal response. The result is a guitar that's still packed full of superb tone and character, without breaking the bank.

Concert Body Shape

Breedlove's Concert is their most popular body shape, favoured by a host of players thanks to its well balanced and comfortable profile feels compact, but doesn't sound it! It generates an articulate tone with plenty low end without being boomy, and lends itself to everything from precise fingerpicking to full on big strums.
