About this listing
2016 Martin BCPA4 Performing Artist Bass, Made in USA - Comes with Martin Hardshell CaseSerial Number: 1986202CONDITION: Excellent, this was adult owned and it shows. Very little play wear on it.The acoustic bass guitar is a peculiar breed. No matter how nice the instrument, most have a tough time competing unplugged against booming dreadnoughts at those backyard jams. And at a gig, even in the smallest of coffee shops? Don’t even think about it. You probably won’t be heard unless you plug in. Upright basses aren’t big just to be big— they need their girth to project lows.Yet there’s a definite market for acoustic bass guitars, with most major acoustic guitar companies offering at least a few models. They don’t sound much like upright basses. (If they did, you’d see more upright players leaving their big buddy at home in favor of this lighter alternative.) But acoustic bass guitars tones sound woodier and more, well, acoustic; than those of standard electric basses. They can also provide a better stage aesthetic when everyone else in the band is working an acoustic instrument.Body & ConstructionBody Shape: J-14 Fret Cutaway (Jumbo-style single cutaway)Top Material: Solid Sitka Spruce (Polished Gloss finish)Back & Sides Material: Solid Sapele (African Mahogany equivalent, Satin finish)Bracing Pattern: Bass A-Frame "X" with solid Sitka spruce bracesBinding: Black BoltaronRosette: Two-ring stylePickguard: Delmar Tortoise color Neck & FingerboardNeck Material: Select Hardwood (Satin finish)Neck Shape: Special Bass profile (Standard Taper)Fingerboard Material: Solid Black Ebony (no position inlays)Scale Length: 34 inchesNumber of Frets: 17 clear, 23 totalNut Width: 1.58 inches (White Corian)Fingerboard Width at 12th Fret: 2.18 inchesFingerboard Radius: 16 inches Hardware & ElectronicsBridge Material & Style: Solid Black Ebony, Performing Artist Belly - Bass style String Spacing at Bridge: 2-1/8 inches Saddle: 16" Radius, compensated, White TusqTuning Machines: Gotoh Bass (Chrome/Black options depending on run) Bridge & End Pins: White with black dots Headstock: Solid / Bass profile with East Indian Rosewood overlay and gold foil CMF Martin script logo Electronics: Fishman F1 Analog system with built-in chromatic tuner, volume/tone controls, and phase control Case: Martin 360 hardshell case includedAbout Capital City Guitars:We are a small brick and mortar music store, we take pride in earning the respect of our customers.
