A one-of-a-kind resonator bass guitar with Paul Beard's innovative design.
The Gold Tone PBB Paul Beard Signature Series resonator bass guitar offers a unique tone and visual aesthetic for bassists seeking an alternative instrument. Designed in collaboration with resonator guru Paul Beard, the PBB bass features Beard's handcrafted cone and spider bridge which provide impressive resonance and projection. The all-mahogany body and neck offer a balanced warmth and clarity. Everything about this bass is built for comfort and playability so you can achieve the best possible sound.
Resonator Cone and Bridge for Standout Tone
At the heart of this bass's distinctive voice is a genuine Paul Beard resonator cone and spider bridge, the same components used in Beard's high-end handcrafted guitars. Together, these premium parts generate a resonant, projecting tone with powerful sustain and overtones. The all-mahogany body provides a balanced, full sound to complement the lively resonator components. This bass sings with a voice so mesmerizing, you'll never want to stop playing.
Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard Feel Familiar
The comfortable maple neck and rosewood fingerboard feel instantly familiar under your fingers. With a 32" scale length and 22 medium frets, this bass handles smoothly and plays with ease. The rosewood fingerboard is bound in cream celluloid for an elegant look and silky feel. Dot inlays provide subtle side markers to keep you oriented as you play. Overall, this bass offers a blend of premium, resonant tonewoods and thoughtful design for comfort and playability.
Versatile Tonal Options with Onboard Pickup
Shape your tone with the custom humbucking pickup and onboard volume and tone controls. From rich, woody resonance to crisp articulation, this pickup system provides tonal versatility to suit any style or song. Roll back the tone for thumpy, old-school Motown vibes or open it up for definition and clarity. The pickup's warm, full voice complements the natural resonator tone beautifully.
Premium Components and Appointments
High-quality components and elegant appointments complete this bass's premium design. Chrome-plated hardware includes sealed tuners, a custom bridge and tailpiece. Cream binding accents the fingerboard and body. Together with the violin-inspired f-holes, these touches convey a sense of craftsmanship and tonal artistry. For an innovative, resonator-infused bass tone with boutique-level components, the Gold Tone PBB Paul Beard Signature Series resonator bass is in a league of its own. Protect your investment with an included hardshell case.
