With a woody midrange and a tone that gets more beautiful with age, walnut is the perfect tonewood for bassists. The more you play, the warmer and softer your sound will become, allowing for endless tonal possibilities. You'll then have the dazzling beauty of a solid spruce top taking centre stage in both looks and tone. Floating exquisitely from spruce are a wealth of dynamics and glistening clarity, ensuring every note reaches your audience and keeps them hooked.
The D558 Medium Scale Bass is loaded with MagusPro electronics, a system that has been specifically designed for the bass. With a 3-band EQ, 2-colour display, Phase and Volume controls, as well as an easy-to-use tuner, the preamp makes it effortless to sculpt your sound with immaculate precision. And a piezo pickup is included, ensuring all those low frequencies are responded to with clarity - a must for the bass.
