Alder body. Maple neck. Rosewood fretboard.

Thanks to a high resonance, low gloss, acrylic lacquer finish over an Alder body the tone of this bass rings out and sustains for days. Features include a satin finish, modern 'C' shape Maple neck, Rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets, standard vintage alnico-magnet Jazz Bass single coil pickups, and chrome hardware.
