More than magnets. They’re music makers. The Fender Designed Alnico Single-Coils in the neck, middle, and bridge provide a huge sound for you to work with. The bridge position pickup has a fat, powerful tone which makes every string sound clear and precise. Switch to the middle, and you’ll get a more twangy sound which has bags of character. In the neck position, everything you play will sound warmer and well rounded, so you can create that ’60s vibe in all your basslines. With these special pickups at your service, your music is bound to be brilliant.
Wood is good
Play your way. With features designed for a great playing experience, your basslines will always be sharp and precise. There’s a maple neck which feels beautifully smooth and thumb-friendly, so you can reach any fret you like instantaneously. This is supported by the Indian laurel fretboard, which offers its own bright resonance and plenty of additional smoothness. These features could be the key to unlocking your creativity, with six strings providing even more sonic opportunities than a regular bass.
Take it anywhere
Road-ready. Be in no doubt that this instrument was born for performance. The whammy bar sets it apart from other basses, allowing you to bend those lower notes for some seriously rich sounds. It is supported by a 6-saddle vintage-style bridge, which also helps to hold your tuning for extended periods of time. Add into the mix a series of six vintage style tuners for speedy tuning, and you’ve got one superb bass. It will hold up in live shows without trouble, and offer you the most satisfying musical experience.
