The CAB42 is a classically styled, yet versatile bass guitar. The solid alder body gives good weight and sustain to the tone generated by its 2 large single coil pickups, each with separate volume controls and a shared tone control. The bolt on maple neck and kabukalli fingerboard has 21 large frets and the traditional headstock has 4 clover leaf tuning machine heads. Overall, this is a bass for all styles from jazz to rock.
