PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- Built for comfortable acoustic bass playing The jumbo cutaway body shape is designed to balance size with playability. You get the fuller acoustic presence expected from a larger body while the cutaway keeps the upper frets accessible. This helps reduce strain during longer sessions and gives you more freedom when moving beyond basic bass lines. The 864mm / 34" scale length keeps the feel familiar for electric bassists so it&rsquo

- re practising or playing alongside other acoustic instruments. Clear tone with a warm foundation A solid spruce top brings clarity and definition to each note helping bass lines remain articulate in acoustic settings. Combined with mahogany back and sides the sound stays warm and controlled rather than overpowering. This balance works well for fingerstyle playing and supportive accompaniment allowing the bass to sit naturally with guitars and vocals. Simple amplification when you need it The K2T pickup system keeps things refreshingly simple. You can adjust volume and tone directly from inside the sound hole giving you quick control. This setup suits players who switch between unplugged and amplified use letting you connect straight to an amp or PA via the 6.35mm output and get on with playing. Practical materials for everyday reliability Purple heart is used for the bridge and fingerboard offering a smooth playing surface and long-term durability. A bone saddle supports consistent string vibration and tuning stability while chrome machine heads provide dependable adjustment. Finished in a matt black with ivory binding the Artiste keeps a smart understated look that fits rehearsals lessons and low-key performances.
