Endless acoustic charm
Mahogany is the kind of tonewood that lends itself to pretty much any playing style. It's the kind of tonewood that has stood the test of time. And it's here ready and waiting for you. Perfect for bass guitars, mahogany's tone has plenty of warmth and depth, giving every note the oomph it needs. Add an extra dimension to the mix, make yourself heard in any ensemble, and relish the beauty of an acoustic bass tone.
You'll then have the dazzling beauty of a solid spruce top taking centre stage in both looks and tone. Floating exquisitely from spruce are a wealth of dynamics and glistening clarity, ensuring every note reaches your audience and keeps them hooked.
Take your sound to new heights
The D538 Medium Scale Bass is loaded with MagusPro electronics, a system that has been specifically designed for the bass. With a 3-band EQ, 2-colour display, Phase and Volume controls, as well as an easy-to-use tuner, the preamp makes it effortless to sculpt your sound with immaculate precision. And a piezo pickup is included, ensuring all those low frequencies are responded to with clarity - a must for the bass.
