Rich in low/midrange frequencies, acoustic bass guitars are very susceptible to resonant feedback in live performance settings. Washburn's patented Soundslot technology makes the AB40VSK much less prone to feedback, while maintaining the wooly thump you want from an acoustic-electric bass.
Custom piezo pickup is ready for performance
The Washburn AB40 comes equipped with a custom piezo pickup for great plugged-in performance. It's got a wide sonic range, with bass and treble controls to help you fine-tune your sound to your amplifier, the room, or your recording needs.
