Description
The AB70ce is a medium-scale acoustic bass designed to deliver the sonorous punch so clearly audible in acoustic ensembles. This Artist Elite is made with premium materials and an armrest bevel, adding comfort and playability to this large-body instrument, whether you’re playing standing up or sitting down. The AB70ce is also fitted with the LR Baggs StagePro Bronze, which delivers wonderfully warm and full bass frequencies when plugged in.
The FST2 bracing finds the balance between rigidity and vibration and allows the top to be both driven and controlled by the masses of air volume this guitar creates. Delivering both balance and liveliness, this bass is both captivating and inspiring.
