Furch Bc-62 SW 5 5 String Acoustic Bass with LR Baggs Element Active VTC # 97131

This listing is for a Furch Acoustic Electric 5 string bass featuring a solid Spruce top and solid Walnut back & sides. Furch is no longer making these great basses so grab this one while you can

The Bc 62-SW 5 is a solid-wood acoustic-electric bass guitar engineered to deliver a superb sound. The soundboard features a proprietary construction that includes an unconventional soundhole designed to enhance low-end response. The combination of a Sitka spruce soundboard and black walnut back and sides produces a perfect tonal balance. The bass comes with the LR Baggs Anthem SL Pickup.

Open-Pore Finish

The Bc 62-SW 5 features Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection. The finish accentuates low frequencies and produces a natural woody sound.

 

Stylish binding

The instrument owes its stylish appearance to binding made from faux tortoise.

 

Furch CNR System® Neck Design

A high precision, dual-action truss rod maintains neck stability and allows for fine adjustment of the neck relief, bilaterally. The truss rod is housed in a highly rigid carbon casing which enables a very smooth and controlled neck relief, ensuring the best playability and enduring optimal setup.

 

1.   A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions.

2.   A highly rigid carbon casing that maintains the neck in the set position over a period much longer than is the case with standard neck joint designs and, at the same time, facilitates a gradual bow in the neck, a factor of essential importance for playability.

3.   A casting made of special alloy located inside the neck heel that ensures a stable position of the neck and its angle vis-à-vis the body.

Excellent machine heads

The instrument has an excellent tuning stability courtesy of Furch Machine Black Chrome machine heads with a highly precise 1:18 gear ratio.

 

LR Baggs Anthem

The Bc 62-SW 5 comes with LR Baggs Anthem SL electronic offering a balanced frequency response with excellent clarity for the purest amplified sound.
