Carved Top Shelby P 30-Inch Short-Scale Bass in Turquoise with Nordstrand NP4 A3 Pickup (Passive) and V-T Electronics (Passive)

Carved Top Shelby P Features:

Carved Spanish Cedar Body
Spanish cedar is nice and light with a clear, resonant, and balanced tone. It has been likened to the mahogany from old growth trees used in electric guitars back in the 50s when it was still widely available.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Flame Maple Neck with Indian Rosewood Fretboard
The flame maple has been finished with a oil/poly/beeswax blend that feels amazing. The rosewood fretboard gives it that vintage, round tone.

Nordstrand Passive Pickup and Electronics
The pickup is a Nordstrand NP4 with AlNiCo III magnets. The AlNiCo III is a little warmer and softer than the traditional AlNiCo V with a little more mids. It pairs nicely with the Spanish cedar body, which has a very clear and even tonal response. The electronics feature a traditional volume/tone passive set of controls.

Leo Quan Badass Bridge and Tuners
The Badass Bass II bridge has long been a favorite looking to improve sustain. The OGT Mini tuners help add to that with their solid brass posts.

DR Hi-Beam Strings
DR Strings are a favorite among many pro musicians. Stainless steel Hi-Beams are nice and bright and last a long time.

Gator 4G Gig Bag
A pro level gig bag with 20mm of padding to protect your investment.

Light Weight
The bass weighs in under 7 lbs., making those long gigs a lot easier on the shoulder and low back.
