About Acoustic Bass Guitars
Playing an acoustic jam can set a good mood in any venue. For bassists, jamming on an acoustic bass isn't usually something that comes to mind, but it's a necessity in any well-established bass arsenal. Giving other musicians rhythm and filling in the low end can drastically change the sound and feel of the songs.
Why Play an Acoustic Bass?
If a warm, rich low end is what you're looking for, our acoustic basses will get you there.

Acoustic Bass FAQs
Who Are Acoustic Basses Made for?
To accommodate differences between players in arm length and hand size, we carry acoustic bass guitars featuring a variety of nut widths, scale lengths, and frets. We even have smaller, travel-ready options, such as the U-Bass. These portable acoustic basses meet most carry-on standards, are comfortable to travel with, and still deliver that full-sized bass tone you'd expect.
Do Acoustic Bass Tonewoods Matter?
Our acoustic bass guitars are constructed from a variety of high-quality woods, and they're built to project a beautiful sound, no matter which woods are used. Backs and sides are made with various hardwoods, providing that quintessential resonance, low-end heft, and volume. The top of your bass can be made out of spruce, mahogany, laminated mahogany, or Bubinga. Choose from necks made from mahogany, maple, or Sapele and fingerboards of rosewood or ebony. You also have your choice of finishes, from urethane to nitro, and in high-gloss, satin, or matte. Acoustic basses with solid tops offer enhanced projection and amazing tonal balance, while a top-notch neck profile offers you speed and comfort throughout marathon practice sessions and performances. With first-rate strings and a combination of tonewoods, our guitars are designed to produce that rich, woody sound you dream of and remain comfortable during the longest shows.
