Equipped on this model are a duo of Seymour Duncan pickups with an SSB-4B at the bridge and an SSB-4N neck. These are both exceptional components that are extremely important in shaping the sound of a bass guitar. The bridge pickup offers a high-output tone that provides clarity and definition to the overall sound. Its ceramic magnets and overwound coils ensure that the voicings produced by this pickup is both powerful and precise. On the other hand, the SSB-4N has a more traditional single-coil design that offers a warm, full-bodied tone that is perfect for melodic playing. The Alnico V magnets and focused coil wind deliver the perfect blend of highs, mids, and lows, ensuring that the notes produced are smooth and expressive.
In addition to its exceptional pickups, the LTD GB-4 bass guitar features a range of controls that give players a wide range of tonal options. With the push/pull volume knob, this bass can switch between single-coil and humbucking modes, providing even more versatility and control over your sound. The balance allows you to blend the output from the pickups, whilst the mid enables you to boost or cut the midrange frequency. What's more, the stacked bass and treble control provides separate knobs for adjusting the bass and treble frequencies. With all these options at your fingertips, you can fine-tune the bass' sound and create the perfect tone for any situation.
A limitless performance
An exceptional playability. The neck of the GB-4 Bass is made from high-quality maple and is crafted into a comfortable thin U shape that allows for effortless playing and easy access to all frets. The silky-smooth finish provides a smooth texture that enhances the playing experience, allowing you to move quickly and effortlessly around the neck without any resistance. It truly is the perfect balance of comfort, speed, and stability.
But that's not all. The fingerboard is crafted with maple and adorned with twenty-one extra jumbo frets that allows for precise playing with excellent intonation. What's more, the large radius allows for comfortable playing even on the higher frets, which are crafted to ensure that they are levelled and dressed to perfection, guaranteeing that string buzz is kept to a minimum and notes sound clear and precise.
