Its 32" scale length strikes the perfect balance between standard and short-scale basses, offering comfortable playability without sacrificing depth or articulation.

Designed for players who demand style and substance, the Electromatic CVT offers effortless playability and dynamic sound in a compact yet commanding format.

Powerful Tone With Low Down Alnico Pickups

This bass features a powerful pickup configuration that combines a single-coil bridge pickup and a humbucking neck pickup. The Low Down Alnico pickups are engineered to deliver a robust low end, articulate mids, and crisp highs, making them ideal for shaping detailed, responsive tones. Individual volume controls for each pickup, combined with a master tone knob, allow precise adjustments to suit any playing scenario. Whether you're adding a warm foundation to a groove or dialing in sharper attack for melodic lines, the pickups deliver consistent clarity and depth. Their balanced output ensures every note remains impactful, even in high-energy performances.

Mahogany Body, Double Cutaway, and Gretsch Charm

The CVT's mahogany body provides a warm, resonant tonal foundation with excellent sustain. Its double-cutaway design not only adds visual flair but also allows effortless access to higher frets for extended melodic lines. The gloss finish enhances the wood's natural grain while offering durability and a polished appearance. Complemented by a tortoise 3-ply pickguard, the bass retains its classic Gretsch charm while standing up to the demands of modern players. The mahogany construction ensures a full-bodied sound that supports dynamic playing styles, from subtle nuances to bold, commanding phrases.

Comfortable Neck Design For Smooth Playability

Featuring a bolt-on mahogany neck with a laurel fingerboard, this bass offers a smooth and comfortable playing experience. The medium jumbo frets and 32" scale length make transitions between notes fluid and intuitive, while the bone nut ensures stable tuning and consistent tone across all strings. Pearloid Neo-Classic thumbnail inlays add a vintage touch while maintaining clear visibility for fretboard navigation. The neck's gloss finish provides a sleek feel, ideal for extended sessions or intricate techniques. Designed for both comfort and precision, this neck construction supports confident playing in any musical setting.

Dependable Hardware For Reliable Performance

The Electromatic CVT is equipped with dependable hardware designed to withstand the demands of frequent use. A 4-saddle adjustable bridge ensures precise intonation and optimal string alignment, while die-cast sealed tuning machines provide stable and accurate tuning adjustments. Nickel-plated hardware adds a touch of classic style while maintaining long-term durability. With its robust construction and attention to detail, this bass is built to deliver consistent performance whether you're rehearsing, recording, or performing live.
