Jatoba fretboard has a reddish brown color which produces a rich mid range with a crisp high end. Whether bowing or finger picking, this specially modified piezo system detects the vibrations of the strings that vibrates in different shapes, and then outputs the signals at equalized level. A padded gig bag can carry everything in it, including the bass itself, bow and stand. TAMA Roadpro stand custom for Upright included.
