Constructed with care, using the finest ingredients
Crafted with an ash body, this Jazz Bass is incredibly lightweight and offers a supremely comfortable playing experience. Using ash as a body tonewood guarantees an overall brightness to the voice of the guitar, as well as delivering great sustain with an excellently balanced sound. The ash yields a strong upper-mid range, beefy low end and provides a superb tone which can be used for a rage of different genres.
For enhanced brightness, this Active Jazz Bass uses both a maple neck and fingerboard. Maple is a commonly used construction wood for guitar again for its bright sound, but also its durability and premium playing feel. It will also add some sizzle to the height, firmness to the lows and provide a snappy attack, especially in the mid-range.

You can’t go wrong with this simple yet elegant all-black design, with a matching headstock that blends seamlessly with the exposed wood of the neck, as well as the white pickguard, to achieve a retro visual appearance.
