It's a match made in heaven. And it's stood the test of time. The combination of spruce and mahogany delivers a truly delicious sound that bassists crave, one that has a rich, resonant undercurrent and bright, singing articulation. Every note will pierce through the mix. The use of solid spruce for the top of the TW8EA8 creates the perfect soundboard, allowing every nuance of your tone to soar from the strings with sensational volume and sharp clarity. You'll then have the balanced soundscape of mahogany back and sides. Explore the versatility and balanced sound that comes with an emphasised midrange, lean into a warm, full-bodied tone, and deliver excellence, no matter your style.
The durable, warm-sounding mahogany neck has been designed for a lifetime of use, and it responds greatly to picking, strumming, and various fingerstyle techniques. Layered on top is Tanglewood's Techwood fretboard, a poplar-based wood laminate that can handle the frequent attack of your fingertips whilst always delivering a beautifully balanced response.
Take your sound to new heights whilst retaining every ounce of acoustic goodness. That's just what B-Band M450T electronics allow for. They have been equipped on this bass with the HZZLess preamp circuit, a special design that reduces signal noise and integrates closely with the B-Band pickup, therefore increasing signal output which results in a supremely powerful performance. Sculpt your tone with immaculate precision and tune up quickly and easily via the digital chromatic tuner. Everything is there. Right at your fingertips.
