Double pickups are what let one bass cover several jobs. Working the tone knob and volume knob moves the sound from round and warm to bright and cutting without changing instruments, which is exactly the flexibility a player needs while still working out what style suits them. The body measures 13 in wide and 2 in deep across a 45.5 in overall length in blue with white trim, and the whole instrument weighs 9 lb on the strap. Four steel strings are fitted for a long lifetime of playing, and they hold pitch on chrome-plated pegs that turn smoothly enough to make tuning quick rather than a fight. The neck is finished smooth for comfort and playability, so hands slide along it during position changes instead of catching. Construction is solid wood throughout, maple, technical wood, and poplar with metal hardware, chosen for long-lasting durability rather than the lightest possible build. A truss rod and wrench are included so the neck relief can be adjusted as the instrument settles, an easy fix that keeps the action right through seasonal changes. The kit is finished with three picks, a shoulder strap for portability, a cable, and a 48 in by 16 in gig bag, so the bass can be carried to the office, a leisure activity, a school performance, or a band show and be ready to play on arrival.
