A Bass Designed for Modern Versatility
With its EMG P/J pickup duo and active 18 V electronics, this model fits the spirit of contemporary basses: a "classic" tonal foundation with dynamic range and precision suited for modern productions. The choice of swamp ash body and maple fingerboard reinforces this identity: clear attack, clarity, and presence in the mix.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
This bass is well suited for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a reliable and incisive instrument, yet remains accessible thanks to its thin neck profile and immediate playability. It excels in rock, pop, funk, metal, and gospel, especially when quickly switching from a round Precision-style sound to a more "Jazz" definition without changing instruments. A left-handed version is available.
The Sound
The combination of a swamp ash body and maple neck/fingerboard delivers a clear attack, tight lows, and present upper mids, perfect for maintaining clarity even at high gain levels. The EMG P + EMG J pair covers a wide spectrum: the P emphasizes low mids and punch, while the J adds articulation and precision on notes and ghost notes. The active 2-band preamp allows quick adjustment of bass and treble without losing definition, and the 18 V power supply improves dynamic range for snappier slap and sharper attacks.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the intended string gauge and length, opt for Ernie Ball 2849 4 String Super Long (.045-.105) replacements. Since the active electronics require an 18 V power supply, keep 2 spare 9 V batteries on hand. For transport, the SGR-UNIVERSALBASS gig bag/case is recommended as a separately sold option.
