The Ernie Ball Music Man Caprice, another welcome newcomer to the Modern Classic family of instruments is a bold new statement in passive design. A workhorse bass that is capable of blending two distinct pickup voicings offering a variety of tones suitable for any musical environment. This compact offset design provides a body shape that is comfortable and balanced along with a slim neck profile that makes this bass a pleasure to play. The top-loading bridge is made from hardened steel and complemented by a newly designed oversized headstock with the familiar 3+1 tuner arrangement. As with the Cutlass, the Caprice is a sleek modern bass with vintage features that stays true to its Music Man heritage.

First off, my review may be biased as I have been a longtime Musicman bass player. That being said, a passive Musicman is something new. It has great musicman tone. I works much better with my pedals than my Sterling, I do have one complaint, I wish the neck was slightly smaller. Otherwise, I am very impressed and very happy with my purchase. Musicman is a bit overpriced in my opinion. But you do get a high quality instrument

Musical Background:
