Get to know them!

The Martin BCPA4 acoustic-electric bass guitar is ideal if you love the sound of an unplugged acoustic bass guitar but also need to plug in with the band. This axe delivers great tones, whether you're unplugged or using its built-in Fishman electronics. Martin built the BCPA4 from the ground up to perform; its solid Sitka spruce top and sapele body gives you excellent projection, gobs of detail, and incredible tonal balance, while its Special Bass neck profile gives you speed and comfort during marathon gigs. Considering an acoustic-electric bass? Martin's BCPA4 is the ticket.

Martin BCPA4 Acoustic-electric Bass Guitar at a Glance:
  • Solid tonewoods deliver big tone
  • Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics for rich, natural sound
  • You simply can't go wrong with a Martin guitar
Solid tonewoods deliver big tone

The jumbo-shaped Martin BCPA4 acoustic-electric bass guitar features the tested and coveted combination of spruce top and sapele back and sides. Martin used solid Sitka spruce, which gives a bright presence and projection while the warm sound of solid sapele gives you great bass response. Highly sustainable, and relatively fast-growing, sapele gives you everything that mahogany does, tonally speaking, with an extra dash of treble zing. The bottom line (pun intended) is full, balanced, highly detailed tone. You'll love the Martin BCPA4.

Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics for rich, natural sound

By equipping the BCPA4 with Fishman Matrix VT Enhance electronics, Martin takes the acoustic-electric back to basics. This simple pickup system gives you tone and volume control along with an Enhance feature, for incredible plugged in tone. Simple and effective. Coupled with the tonewood selection, the result is pure, natural amplified sound.

You simply can't go wrong with a Martin guitar

Embracing the past, while looking to the future - it's a tightrope act, but Martin has always been able to pull it off. That's why they've consistently been a leader in acoustic guitar design, infusing their guitars with new materials, building techniques, and technologies - while producing fine instruments that age with grace to become highly sought-after, highly playable heirlooms.

  • Solid Sitka Spruce top; solid sapele back and sides
