Key Features
Product Ref: 315658
Imagine the perfect balance of warm yet full and punchy-sounding lows coupled with bright, clear, and transparent highs. That's exactly what you get with an Ash top on a Mahogany body. Even better, the striking wood grain of ash adds a touch of natural aesthetic that is both pleasing to the eye and soothing to the touch.
Step into the world of Bartolini sound with the MK-1 pickups. These pickups are not just about superb sound quality and value, they are about preserving the trademark Bartolini sound. Expect plenty of punchy and warm mids along with transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.
Bartolini's renowned MK-1 preamp takes the game to another level. It provides a powerful yet transparent boost along with its trademark crisp high-end. Whether you're in a studio recording or performing in a large concert hall, this preamp ensures the natural liveliness of the bass is transferred seamlessly through a flexible three-band equalizer. Plus, the switchable active/passive mode offers a powerful modern active sound or an organic traditional passive sound.
The solid, high-mass MetalCraft M bridge has been developed with a focus on ease of use and greater tone transfer. The dual string loading system allows the strings to be loaded either through the body or from the top, depending on the thickness of the strings. This results in enhanced sustain, greater playability, and focused sound. The deep individual slots hold the saddles rock-tight, preventing any unwanted movement and allowing string vibrations to correctly transfer to the body. MetalCraft M4 now come with a string spacing of 19mm for the 4-string M4.
The Roasted Maple Fingerboard is a testament to innovation. By treating maple in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden-brownish look for enhanced stability and a defined tone. The fretless fingerboard plays super smooth and true, with black markers for fret positions that will surely be appreciated by novices as well as experienced players.
The combination of Panga Panga and Walnut offers a tight and defined midrange that complements the bright and expansive tonal nature of the Mahogany body. This results in an ideally balanced sound that rounds out the bass spectrum beautifully.
