Whilst sharing the look of other Corvette models, the attitude of Double comes from its unique pickups and electronics. The Corvette 5-String Bass Guitar boasts two passive MEC humbuckers, which are nestled closely in the centre of the body. They completely cover the legendary sweet-spot that many other basses miss completely. This bass comes in a Natural Oil Finish.
Use the two mini 3-way switches to coil tap each humbucker in different ways (hum canceling parallel/series, single coil). The passive pickups are matched to a MEC 2-band preamp, providing the Double with more flexibility, and making this a great passive/active hybrid bass.
The Double boasts great components. It has a select swamp ash body for warmth and snap, a Wenge neck for strength and growl, bell brass frets for resonance and longevity, all helping to create great performance.
