Hand-built in San Diego, the McGrath Thumper P-Style Black Sands combines the timeless feel of a classic P-style instrument with the precision and refinement of modern luthiery. Finished in an elegant Black Sands aesthetic with a 30” scale and weighing just 8.3 pounds, this bass offers exceptional comfort, balance, and resonance.

The two EMG TBHZ combine to make a sonic powerhouse of quad coil power, right in the sweet spot of the bass. What's more, there is a parallel/series push-pull that allows you to instantly get that extra kick. Its an inspiring instrument for players seeking premium construction and standout visual appeal.
