Designed for players who demand versatility, precision, and effortless playability, the Charles Berthoud signature CB-5 bass guitar excels in every technique—from tapping and slapping to rich, melodic grooves.

Crafted from premium tonewoods, it delivers a thunderous yet articulate tone with a perfect blend of warmth and punch, making it ideal for any genre. EMG 40HZ pickups paired with an EMG active 3-band EQ provide pristine clarity, a wide dynamic range, and a powerful low end.

Engineered for comfort and performance, the sleek, modern design features a neck-through walnut neck with padauk stringers and ultra-access construction, offering seamless playability across the entire fretboard.

Unleash your full potential with the CB-5—where innovation meets inspiration.
