MusicMan Caprice Bass Guitar - Diamond Blue
The Caprice, another welcome newcomer to the Modern Classic family of instruments is a bold new statement in passive design.
A workhorse bass that is capable of blending two distinct pickup voicings offering a variety of tones suitable for any musical environment. This compact offset design provides a body shape that is comfortable and balanced along with a slim neck profile that makes this bass a pleasure to play.
The top-loading bridge is made from hardened steel and complemented by a newly designed oversized headstock with the familiar 3+1 tuner arrangement.
As with the Cutlass, the Caprice is a sleek modern bass with vintage features that stays true to its Music Man heritage.
