Martin 000CJR-10E Bass Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar Burst
Martin 000CJR-10E Bass Acoustic Electric Bass Guitar Burst – Martin Junior Series instruments are slightly smaller than our full-sized instruments, but you won’t have to sacrifice tone or volume, and you’ll gain plenty of comfort and portability. This Martin 000CJR-10E Bass acoustic-electric cutaway bass is ideal if you love to write and practice on an unplugged bass but also need the option to plug it in to record or play live with your band. It includes a spruce top and sapele back and sides to deliver thumping Martin bass tones, whether you are unplugged or using the built-in Fishman® electronics. It also includes a fast, comfortable neck so you can keep the rhythm section tight. The 000CJR-10E Bass is strung with Martin short scale bass strings that are made specifically for this instrument.
This fingerboard’s story
As ebony tree populations in the wild diminish, guitar manufacturers like Martin are turning to sustainable alternatives. The Richlite fingerboard on the 000CJR-10E is one of those! This stable wood won’t shrink or crack apart from the neck and feels sublimely smooth, much like ebony. Bass guitarists say it has similar, if not superior, tonal properties to ebony. This Richlite fingerboard features 20 frets down its 24-inch scale, plus a comfortable 16-inch radius that’ll keep you playing your favorite bass licks all day long. Martin also designed the 000CJR-10E with a cutaway so you can access the most of the Richlite fingerboard as possible. Combined with its solid sapele back, sides, and spruce top, the 000CJR-10E is one acoustic-electric bass you will love playing.
Play acoustic or electric
The 000CJR-10E sounds great played acoustically, but you’ll be glad to know it’s equipped with an electronics system. Martin makes it easy to get fabulous tone from the 000CJR-10E with the Fishman Sonitone BT-1 pickup. With the Sonitone, you can plug in at gigs or your recording interface to achieve a dynamic and natural sound. The Sonitone features a pickup mounted at the bridge, with controls mounted for discreet and easy access underneath the soundhole. So plug in and go — listeners will love this bass.
