Ergonomic Design for Unparalleled Comfort

The CB-6 Left-Handed bass features a distinctive body shape that has been specifically sculpted for optimal balance and comfort in the hands of a left-handed player.

The neck-thru design further enhances the bass's ergonomic qualities, providing a seamless transition between the neck and body.

Ash Body and Neck-Thru Construction

The CB-6 Left-Handed bass is crafted from premium tonewoods selected for their exceptional resonance and tonal characteristics. The ash body delivers a balanced and articulate sound with a tight low-end response and a snappy attack. The walnut neck with padauk stringers adds a touch of visual flair while providing exceptional stability and a smooth, comfortable feel. The rosewood fingerboard offers a warm, rich tone and a smooth playing surface, further enhancing the bass's overall playability.

EMG 45HZ Pickups and Versatile EQ

The CB-6 Left-Handed bass is equipped with EMG 45HZ pickups, renowned for their powerful and articulate sound. These pickups deliver a wide range of tones, from punchy lows to clear highs, making them suitable for any musical style. The EMG active 3-band EQ provides extensive tonal shaping options, allowing you to fine-tune your sound with precision. The master volume, blend, and EQ controls offer exceptional versatility and control, empowering you to sculpt your ideal bass tone.

Premium Hardware, Optimized for Lefties

The CB-6 Left-Handed bass features high-quality hardware that has been specifically chosen and positioned for optimal performance and comfort for left-handed players. The Grover bass tuners ensure smooth and accurate tuning, while the Schecter Diamond Custom bass bridge provides exceptional string stability and intonation. The 54mm Graphtech Black Tusq XL nut enhances sustain and tuning stability. All controls and hardware are strategically placed for intuitive access and comfortable playability.
