A Modernly Designed Furch Bass, Crafted for Musicality
Furch applies its acoustic luthiery expertise to the bass world here: solid wood construction, specific work on projection, and a decidedly musical approach to playing comfort. The CM 4-string stands out with design choices focused on rich low end while maintaining enough definition to stay clear in an acoustic mix. Its visual identity is enhanced by an atypical rosette and an overall balance that puts the musician at the center of the experience.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This electro-acoustic fretless bass is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking nuanced touch and an expressive palette (vibrato, slides, rounder attacks). It excels in jazz, fusion, world music, acoustic pop, and ambient styles, becoming an inspiring option for unplugged bands, acoustic duos/tri-os, or studio sessions where a woody and lively low end is desired.
Sound
The Western red cedar top provides a quick response, immediate warmth, and beautiful harmonic richness, ideal for making a fretless sing without harshness. The African mahogany back and sides enhance the midrange, add coherence to the low register, and promote a round, natural, and very "woody" tone. The unconventional rosette, advertised as optimized for low frequencies, contributes to a more present and well-grounded bass feel in acoustic playing. When plugged in, the LR Baggs Element Active electronics deliver a balanced signal, with simple Volume and Tone controls to quickly adjust brightness and foundation, both in rehearsal and on stage.
