Short scale comfort
The 30″ scale makes this bass an absolute joy to play, giving you lower string tension, an easier reach, and a smoother overall feel. If you’re moving up from guitar, have smaller hands, or just prefer a more relaxed playing style, you’ll immediately notice how approachable it is. Even with its shorter scale, the bass still maintains a strong, punchy response that sits confidently in any mix.
Roasted maple feel
The roasted maple neck and fretboard give you a noticeably stable and refined playing surface. Roasting removes excess moisture from the wood, improving durability and giving the neck a sleek, fast-moving character you’ll appreciate during long sessions. Combined with a gentle C-shape profile and matte finish, it’s a neck that feels familiar from the first moment you pick it up.
Powersound humbucker versatility
The Powersound humbucker brings the best of both worlds: warm rounded lows and bright, defined highs. Whether you’re playing smooth soul lines or need a more aggressive edge for rock, this pickup responds with clarity and authority. Its voicing suits a wide range of genres, making it ideal for players who want a single-pickup bass that doesn’t compromise on flexibility.
Markbass MB-1 tone shaping
The onboard Markbass MB-1 preamp adds serious tonal control, letting you tailor your sound with bass, middle, and treble adjustments. The three-way pickup function selector opens up even more tonal combinations, allowing series, split, and parallel styles of response from the humbucker. It’s a powerful system that ensures your tone stays articulate, expressive, and ready for the stage or studio.
