The bass also features an ergonomic, rounded contoured body made of Red Cedar with a carved Swamp Ash top and is powered by a set of Seymour Duncan Quarter-Pound PJ™ pickups, 1x volume, 1x tone and a 4-way switch, all housed in a 5-ply tortoise shell pickguard. Rosewood or maple fingerboard options are available on a rock maple neck with large clover style high-ratio tuning machines.
