A Compact Martin Bass, Continuing Acoustic Expertise
Designed by Martin Guitar, the Dreadnought Junior 10E-BASS fits into a modern approach to the acoustic instrument: offering a bass in a reduced format, easier to transport, while maintaining a true sonic personality. It targets musicians who want to experience the feel of a "living" acoustic bass, with the added benefit of integrated electronics to adapt to current setups (home studio, stage, jams, rehearsals).
For Whom and Which Styles?
Thanks to its compact size and short scale, this electro-acoustic bass is well suited for beginner to intermediate bassists seeking immediate playability, as well as for traveling musicians (frequent travel, home playing, acoustic sessions). Its balance makes it comfortable in folk, pop, variety, acoustic, and vocal/guitar accompaniment, with a clear and controlled response that sits easily in a mix.
The Sound
The solid Sitka spruce top provides precise attack, good projection, and clear note definition, particularly useful for maintaining clarity on bass lines. The solid sapele back and sides reinforce the low-mid range with natural warmth and a slightly woody grain, while preserving a pleasant balance. The Dreadnought Junior format promotes a quick response and controlled resonance: you get a present bass but tighter than a very large body, which helps keep playing clean whether fingerstyle or with a pick. Plugged in, the Fishman Sonitone electronics preserve a credible acoustic tone, with effective amplification for stage or recording.
