Artist ABJ42 Acoustic Bass w/ Cutaway and EQ
Why let guitarists have all the fun? The new Artist ABJ42 Acoustic Bass brings some much-needed low-end to the campfire strummers! With a laminated spruce top and laminated sapele back and sides, the ABJ42 delivers plenty of unamplified volume, but if you're headed for the stage, the inbuilt Fishman Isys preamp offers fantastic amplified tone, in case you're in need of a little more grunt.
Fitted with a comfortable okoumen neck, topped with a high-performance eco-rosewood fretboard, and 20 nickel frets, the ABJ42 is also equipped with an ergonomic cutaway, allowing upper neck access for bass solos aplenty! The dovetail neck joint offers serious sustain and premium resonance, while the eco-rosewood bridge delivers incredible stability in all conditions.
Easy to play and beginner-friendly, the ABJ42 is a great choice for those starting out on acoustic bass. Its comfortable neck, practical cutaway and straightforward controls make it easy for beginners to get started while still offering the tone and features experienced players will appreciate.
Whether you're plucking around the campfire, learning your first bass lines, or stepping onto the stage, the ABJ42 is the perfect option for those seeking gorgeous low-end tones with a little less attack!
