This premium short scale bass offers the effortless playability and compact comfort of a 30'' scale bass while delivering a rich, full-bodied tone that completely defies its size.
If you are seeking a short scale bass that combines a striking visual presence with the enhanced stability of a roasted maple bass neck, the Roasted Capri is an exceptional choice for studio, stage, or comfortable home playing.
Premium Materials and Effortless Tone
The Roasted Capri is defined by its high-quality woods and unique pickup configuration, ensuring both durability and a standout sound.
Feel and Foundation
Roasted Maple Bass Neck: The neck and fingerboard are crafted from high-quality roasted maple. This process removes moisture, resulting in enhanced stability, reduced susceptibility to temperature and humidity changes, and a beautiful vintage tint. The treatment also adds warmth and resonance to the tone.
30'' Short Scale Bass Comfort: The compact 30'' scale length makes this instrument incredibly comfortable and accessible. It's perfect for players with smaller hands, guitarists making the switch to bass, or anyone who prefers a tighter string feel and less reach.
Striking Aesthetics: Available in eye-catching, vibrant finishes like Ice Blue and Gloss Black with matching headstocks and rugged hardware, the Capri is a vintage style short scale bass built to stand out on any stage.
Warmth and Punch in the Tone
Soapbar Pickup Power: The Capri is loaded with hand-wound, chrome-covered soapbar bass pickups featuring Alnico magnets. These deliver a rich, classic tone with full-bodied lows and clear mids, providing the punch needed to cut through a mix.
Passive Control: The electronics utilize precision CTS-style pots, offering smooth and intuitive control over the passive pickup voicing.
Reliability and Quality
The combination of the thermally treated, roasted maple bass neck and rugged construction ensures this short scale bass provides exceptional reliability night after night, making it a professional-grade instrument ready for the road.
