Description

The Charles Berthoud CB-4 Electric Bass is an innovative instrument that delivers professional performance with high-end appointments. Designed for bassists across genres, its EMG pickups and 3-band EQ provide a spectrum of tones from modern to vintage. Players will appreciate thoughtful details like the flamed maple top, abalone inlays and Grover tuners.

Neck-Through-Body Build Offers Stability and Access

The walnut and padauk neck runs the length of the ash body, with two carbon fiber rods for reinforcement, creating an ultra-stable foundation for consistent tone and tuning. The thin C-shaped neck and 34" scale length ensure comfortable playability. The cutaway body provides access to higher frets, while the 16" radius fingerboard has 24 jumbo frets.

Premium Appointments Complement High Performance

The Charles Berthoud CB-4 Electric Bass exhibits quality craftsmanship throughout, including a flamed maple top with matching headstock, rosewood fretboard with abalone offset dot inlays and Grover tuners. A Graph Tech nut and custom bridge provide accurate intonation and sustain. Together with the electronics and neck, these components make this electric bass a professional-grade instrument.

    My wife bought me this for my birthday. I have played a Stiletto 4 string for the last 14 years and it was finally time to get something new. I absolutely love this bass. It sounds great with funk, reggae, jazz, and metal. The feel, sound, and hardware remind me a lot of my Stiletto. However, that is not a bad thing, although the price tag is higher. I am very happy with this bass and have no regrets in buying it. The only issue I had was that when I received the bass, it was supposed to say Diamond Series by the tuning knobs. However, my bass left off the S and had Diamond eries written instead. Although this is a minor issue, I wish it arrived in perfect condition.

    Is a hardshell case included in the guitar price or is there an additional charge?

    No, a case would be a separate purchase.
