Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Washburn dealer

Washburn worked side-by-side with a true bass guitar legend to produce the AB40SH Stu Hamm Signature Acoustic Bass. The bass has a fully intonatable bridge, allowing for even intonation throughout the entire fingerboard. It's perfect for those who want tone, playability, and acoustic amplification without the intrusion of feedback.

Features

- Arched spruce top
- Arched maple back
- Maple sides
- Mahogany neck
- Rosewood fretboard
- Custom Stu Hamm yin-yang bass clef inlays
- Multi-lam binding
- Intonatable monorail bridge
- Grover tuners
- Custom piezo electronics
- Buzz Feiten Tuning System(TM)
- Case: GC44, Included

The acoustic bass features an arched spruce top, arched maple back, maple sides, and a mahogany neck for a full, balanced tone that swells from the oval sound-hole and through the custom piezo electronics. The rosewood fretboard, multi-laminate binding, intonatable monorail bridge, and Grover tuners continue the strength in construction not regularly seen in an acoustic electric bass crossover.

The Washburn Stuart Hamm bass is equipped with the Buzz Feiten tuning system, a tempered tuning formula, which uses a compensated nut and saddle to correct the inherent intonation problems of the Western tuning formula. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Washburn products.

What Our Customers Are Saying About zZounds "I "discovered" zZounds about 2 years ago & was curious about their "Play as you Pay" installment plan. I am a musician so, I am sometimes strapped for cash. Without this plan I would have never been able to get the gear I need!" - customer on May 8th, 2012

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great guitar!!!!!!!!!!"

Sound: This guitar sounds great!!!! I own 3 Fender bass guitars, and have owned a Fender acoustic, as well as a Carvin Acoustic. This guitar is far and away the best sounding of all of them. It's easy to play, the action on it is wonderful, and the sound is amazing! It has great sustain, and tone. The only downfall to this guitar is the same with most acoustic bass guitars, you cannot get a lot of sound out of them unplugged. However, plugged in, the sound is second to none!!! Feature: I love the fact that this guitar as individual level controls for each string. It does away with having one string that is hotter than the others. Ease of Use: Really easy to use. The extra features (the level controls) are pretty self explanatory. This guitar sounded wonderful right out of the box. I put a set of Elixer Acoustic strings on it (only because they are easier on my fingers), and tuned it right up, not intonation problems, or no adjustments needed Quality: The finish on this guitar is BEAUTIFUL!!! The picture does not do it justice. It's is a deep cherry color that the finish looks about 10 ft. deep on... just really rich and beautiful The back of the guitar, has a lot of grain it, and is just simply beautiful. The fit of this guitar is great also, unlike other acoustics, it's not as deep, so it's an easy reach to get to everything on it. So far I am 100% happy with it, and plan on using it as my main road axe. I will always have a backup with me, but, feel like this could hold up to the road well.
