Lag Guitars HV10BCE HyVibe Smart Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar - Natural

The Lag Guitars HV10BCE HyVibe Smart acoustic-electric bass brings the HyVibe platform to an acoustic bass for the first time, combining a solid red cedar top, khaya mahogany back and sides, a jumbo cutaway body and advanced H2 electronics. Designed for players who want more than a standard plugged-in acoustic bass, the HV10BCE adds onboard effects, multi-layer looping, Bluetooth music streaming and a color-screen interface to a Natural satin instrument with black hardware, die-cast tuners, coated 80/20 bronze strings and an included hybrid gig bag. Precision-placed actuators beneath the soundboard turn the body into a natural speaker, creating a self-contained instrument for practice, songwriting, solo performance and ensemble playing.

HyVibe H2 Electronics With Integrated Effects

The HyVibe H2 system uses a more powerful processor and updated sound-processing algorithms to deliver onboard effects, looping and Bluetooth music streaming directly through the instrument. Its effects engine includes reverb, chorus, delay, tremolo, octaver and distortion, with adjustable parameters available from the onboard interface. Shortcut buttons and a high-resolution color screen with enhanced graphics provide faster access to settings, while the streamlined controls make it easier to shape sounds without relying on a separate pedalboard or external processor.

Soundboard Actuation, Looping and Wireless Playback

Precision-placed actuators beneath the soundboard transform the HV10BCE into a natural speaker, allowing effects, loops and streamed audio to resonate through the body itself. The multi-layer looper lets players record a base layer and add up to three overdub layers for arranging ideas, building practice parts or creating solo performances. Wireless speaker mode also allows backing tracks and other audio to stream through the resonating body, while the built-in lithium-ion battery provides over 10 hours of continuous playtime.

Solid Cedar and Khaya Mahogany Construction

A solid red cedar top gives the HV10BCE a responsive acoustic foundation with deep, resonant bass character, while khaya mahogany back and sides add warmth and tonal balance. The jumbo body helps produce a fuller acoustic presence while enhancing low-end response. A satin Natural finish keeps the appearance understated and allows the wood grain and contrasting black hardware to remain the visual focus.

Jumbo Cutaway Access and Comfortable Playability

The cutaway jumbo body gives the HV10BCE added upper-neck access while preserving the fuller dimensions players expect from an acoustic bass. A khaya neck, sustainable Brown BrankoWood fingerboard, 13.78" radius and 32.36" scale length create a familiar playing surface, while 20 medium silver-nickel frets support comfortable playability across the neck. A 1.69" black graphite wedge nut and double-action truss rod contribute to stable setup and adjustment over time.

Premium Appointments for Modern Bassists

Brown BrankoWood components provide durability and smooth playing feel while complementing the instrument's natural appearance. The material is used for the fingerboard, bridge and headstock, while die-cast tuning machines, black hardware and coated bronze 80/20 trings complete the factory setup. An included hybrid gig bag adds practical protection for transport. For bassists who want acoustic feel, integrated effects, layered looping and wireless playback in one instrument, the Lag Guitars HV10BCE HyVibe Smart acoustic-electric bass delivers an innovative blend of acoustic tone, smart technology and performance versatility.
