PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Short scale design for easier playability The Chicago Short Scale Bass features a 30" scale length reducing the distance between frets compared with standard long-scale basses. This makes it easier to move around the fingerboard especially for players with smaller hands or those new to bass. The shorter neck also helps reduce hand strain during longer practice sessions. Despite the compact scale the bass retains a full-size body shape giving you the familiar feel and balance of a traditional electric bass. Flexible pickup combination for shaping your tone The bass uses two pickups to offer a broad range of tones. A bridge single-coil provides brightness and clarity helping notes cut through clearly in a mix. The split-coil pickup at the neck introduces warmth and depth to the low end. Using the two volume controls you can blend the pickups to create the balance that suits your playing style. Two tone controls allow further adjustment of treble response making it easy to shape your sound for different genres. Lightweight body designed for comfort Constructed from Paulownia the body keeps overall weight low while still delivering a balanced bass tone with plenty of sustain. This lightweight build makes the instrument comfortable whether you&rsquo
- re practising at home rehearsing or playing standing with a strap. Ergonomic body contours help the bass sit naturally against your body encouraging relaxed playing and making longer sessions easier. Smooth maple neck with full fret access The maple neck features a natural satin finish that supports smooth hand movement along the fretboard. Its comfortable C-shaped profile sits naturally in the hand helping you shift positions easily as you play. The poplar laminate fingerboard hosts 24 medium-jumbo frets giving you plenty of range across two octaves. Wide cutaways also provide clear access to the upper frets making higher notes easier to reach when exploring the full register of the instrument. Specifications General Information Scale Length:
