Features
Bartolini MK-1 Pickups
The trademark Bartolini
sound is preserved in the MK-1 while providing superb sound quality and
value. The MK-1 delivers plenty of punchy and warm mids along with
transparent and brilliant highs for a superbly balanced sound.
Markbass MB-1 EQ
The
Markbass MB-1 EQ provides a very natural and transparent boost that
does not color the organic nature or resonance of the instrument's
woods. The crystal clarity and natural warmth combined exude a passive
feel with smooth lows, full-bodied mids, and bell-like highs. The
Markbass 3-Band EQ brings out the best acoustic nature of the bass
instrument.
5 Piece Wenge And Walnut Neck
The
emphasis of the Wenge and Walnut combination is on tight and defined
midrange that complements the bright and expansive tonal nature of the
Swamp Ash body for an ideally balanced sound to round out the bass
spectrum.
Swamp Ash Body
A livelier and more
resonant wood than poplar, swamp ash is characterized by a scooped-mids
sound with a bigger low-end and clear highs for a more balanced tone.
The open-pore finish enhances the resonance even further and the wood's
natural light weight and good-looking grain patterns are other positives
of swamp ash. An ideal match for the Markbass 3-Band EQ system.
Matching Headstock
The new matching headstock provides a tasteful and classy visual aesthetic for an ungraded high-end look and feel.
Hipshot Ultralight Tuners
The Artisan B4 Plus AS features Hipshot Ultralight Tuners as standard equipment for tuning accuracy and stability.
