Description
This gorgeous short scale, hollow body bass offers a warm, rich tone with an absolutely beautiful natural acoustic resonance without even plugging it in! The honey sunburst finish looks fabulous over the natural wood grain, especially on the back, which shows off some spectacular flame figuring in the body. The slender profile neck is exceptionally comfortable to play & the double single coils offer a dynamic texture to delight the player for hours on end. Professionally set up & ready to play upon arrival.
