This new addition to the B4 Plus AS lineup features an open-pore finish body with three colors ideally suited for this type of finish as well as a Roasted Maple fingerboard for a little brighter and punchier sound. The three new colors are Aqua Blue, Burgundy Red, and Trans Black. The open-pore body finish and the Roasted Maple neck provide a natural feel to the touch as well as enhance the tone with a more open and organic sound.
Features:
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 lightweight and good-looking grain patterns are other positives of swamp ash. An ideal match for the Markbass 3-Band EQ system.
Bartolini® MK-1
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
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.
ROASTED MAPLE FINGERBOARD
By treating the Maple in an oxygen-free oven at a high temperature, the wood stabilizes and develops a golden-brownish look for enhanced stability as well as a more vintage type of look and a bit bolder tone.
5PC PANGA PANGA & WALNUT NECK
The emphasis of the Panga Panga and Walnut combination is on a 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.
Hipshot® ULTRALITE
The Artisan B4 Plus AS RM features Hipshot Ultralite Tuners as standard equipment for tuning accuracy and stability.
