Note: The above images are mockups. Real images will be uploaded as soon as possible.
Marrying the unmistakable charm of a sixties-era violin profile with road-tested modern reliability, the AVB1 is the ultimate grooving machine for today's stages. Sporting a striking sunburst finish over a resonant maple body and highlighted by sleek ivory white binding, this semi-hollow beauty demands attention from the moment you pull it out of the case.
Boasting a highly playable 30-inch short scale design that glides effortlessly under the fingers, the AVB1 delivers an incredibly welcoming playing experience, thanks to a 14" radius rosewood fretboard designed for nimble walking basslines and deep pocket grooves alike! An ergonomic C-shaped maple neck tucks perfectly into the palm, ensuring this bass plays like an absolute dream for vintage purists and contemporary thumpers. The traditional rosewood bridge and trapeze tailpiece give the AVB1 a little extra vintage flair, while a premium set of pearloid button tuning machines and a precision-cut bone nut guarantee your intonation stays completely locked in.
Packing a massive punch beneath its retro facade, the AVB1 tackles everything from classic Brit-pop to modern indie rock without missing a single beat, driven by a pair of custom-voiced BBT ceramic bass pickups that are ready to roar! Dive into the iconic control plate - featuring an intuitive two-volume, three-switch layout mounted on an eye-catching white pearl pickguard - to sculpt your ideal mix of throaty midrange bark and rounded, pillowy lows. Whether you need an aggressive, articulate snap to cut through a dense mix or a subdued, resonant purr for late-night jazz sessions, flipping those switches unleashes a staggering variety of highly musical textures!
