BB-400+ Banjo Bass
from Goldtone Banjos and BanjoTeacher.com |
A new sound for bass players, the BB-400+ has an uncanny resemblance to the tone of an upright acoustic bass with our special sliding magnetic pickup. It is especially suited to play slap bass techniques. Bass players are amazed at this new tone. A slim maple neck and a 14" maple body makes the Banjo Bass a comfortable instrument to play. Features include sliding magnetic pickup, a 14” Renaissance head with thumb guide, radiused fingerboard, stainless-steel tailpiece, bone nut, and high-quality tuning machines. Whether you are new to the bass guitar or are looking for a new sound to add to your arsenal, the BB-400+ may just be what you are looking for.
