An Iconic Silhouette Revisited by Eko
Inspired by the basses that shaped modern music since the 1950s, the PB400 follows a classic formula: a 4-string PB format, a split-coil pickup in the middle position, and a timeless aesthetic. Eko offers here an accessible interpretation designed to provide a reassuring feel, refined finish, and true versatility to accompany the first years of playing.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
The Eko PB400 is primarily aimed at beginner bassists (and those looking for a simple, lightweight, and reliable bass). Its passive electronics and two controls allow you to get straight to the point: quickly finding a usable sound for rehearsals, home, or lessons. It suits styles where the bass needs to be solid and clear: rock, pop, punk, blues, variety, and even light funk with a sharper attack.
The Sound
The PB400 combines a paulownia body, known for its lightness and resonance, with a maple neck that provides definition and attack. The laurel fingerboard balances the overall tone with a warmer response, ideal for rounding off the highs while maintaining good precision. The PB-style split-coil pickup, wired passively, delivers dense lows and present mids: perfect for holding the mix without effort. The tone control allows switching from a round, vintage sound to a brighter, more biting timbre, while the 4-saddle bridge helps finely adjust action and intonation, with stable sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
For this 4-string bass with a scale length of 34.17" / 868 mm, prioritize 4-string long scale bass strings (gauge chosen according to your comfort). A standard strap and a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable are also essentials for playing through an amp or interface.
