Overview

Innovative construction merges projection and comfort in a stage-ready acoustic-electric bass.

The Ovation B778TX-5-G Pro Series Elite TX mid-depth acoustic-electric bass guitar lets you shape rich, resonant bass tones. With its unique multi-soundhole design and solid A-grade Sitka spruce top, this bass delivers impressive acoustic projection and a balanced timbre. The mid-depth Lyrachord body is lightweight yet highly resonant. Combined with the low-profile maple neck, you'll find this bass comfortable to play for long sessions. The OP-Pro preamp gives you tonal control at your fingertips, while the OCP-1K pickup captures every nuance of your playing. For bassists seeking an innovative acoustic-electric bass with professional level appointments, the Ovation B778TX-5-G is an outstanding choice.

Multi-Soundhole Design Provides Powerful Acoustic Tone

Rather than a single, centered soundhole, the Ovation B778TX-5-G features multi-soundholes around the edges of the top. This construction allows the solid spruce top to vibrate more freely, producing a robust acoustic voice with rich overtones. When playing unplugged, you'll appreciate the bass's ability to fill a room with a balanced, even tone. The multi-soundhole design also places the acoustic sound closer to your ears, letting you better hear the details of your playing.

Mid-Depth Body Delivers Comfort and Resonance

The Ovation B778TX-5-G has a mid-depth Lyrachord body that provides an ideal balance of comfort, lightweight feel and acoustic resonance. Lyrachord is a composite material known for its superior durability compared to wood, offering a uniquely rich, booming bass and a contoured shape. The body contours comfortably to your body during long practice sessions and performances. Despite its smaller size, the Lyrachord body generates impressive acoustic volume and sustain.

OP-Pro Preamp Gives You Tonal Versatility

Shape your amplified tone with the Ovation B778TX-5-G's OP-Pro preamp. This intuitive preamp features easy-to-use rotary controls for volume and a 3-band EQ. Find the ideal mix of lows, mids and highs to suit any musical scenario. The preamp's design provides smooth, low-noise performance, so every nuance of your playing comes through clearly. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, the OP-Pro preamp gives you the control you need over your amplified tone.

Premium Appointments for Professional Performance

From its pau ferro fingerboard to its die-cast machine heads with anthracite finish, the Ovation B778TX-5-G is equipped with professional appointments. The pau ferro fingerboard offers a smooth playing feel, while providing tonal warmth. Die-cast tuners keep your bass in tune through the most demanding performances. A wooden hardshell case is also included to protect your guitar during transportation. For professional-level playability and reliability, the Ovation B778TX-5-G delivers.
