Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Concerto Amber Bass CE Myrtlewood

What we say:

At A Glance:

The Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Concerto Amber Bass CE Myrtlewood is a stunning 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 Concerto model is Breedlove's largest body size, imparting a rich, sonorous sounds with oodles of sustain that lingers after every strum. If ever there was a Breedlove that was truly perfect for an acoustic bass, this is it.

This model features a solid top, and layered back and sides, of Myrtlewood. Native to the Oregon coast, Myrtlewood captures the deep bass of rosewood, the warmth of mahogany and that glassy treble of maple, all in a single wood with a gorgeous grain. 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 amber finish.

The Pursuit Exotic S Concerto 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 Myrtlewood top. This charming wood is native to the Oregon coast in the USA, and captures the deep bass of rosewood, the warmth of mahogany and that glassy treble of maple, all in a single wood with a gorgeous grain.

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. In this case, a layer of mahogany is sandwiched between two layers of Myrtlewood for a rich, complex tone and handsome grain pattern. 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.

Concerto Body Shape

Breedlove's Concerto is their biggest body shape. Like the halfway point between an oversized Concert shape and a curvy version of a classic dreadnought, the Concerto imparts giant, sonorous acoustic sound with buckets of sustain and tone that's particularly ideal for acoustic bass guitarists.
