With this versatile pickup configuration, you can achieve any sound from warm and rounded to aggressive and biting. The active/passive switch and EQ give you flexibility to find your ideal tone for any genre.

Premium Construction for Resonance and Playability

An alder and maple body and 5-piece maple/mahogany neck give this bass a balanced and resonant voice.
