The mid-depth Lyrachord body is lightweight yet highly resonant. Combined with the low-profile maple neck, you'll find this bass comfortable to play for long sessions. The OP-Pro preamp gives you tonal control at your fingertips, while the OCP-1K pickup captures every nuance of your playing. For bassists seeking an innovative acoustic-electric bass with professional level appointments, the Ovation B778TX-5-G is an outstanding choice.
Multi-Soundhole Design Provides Powerful Acoustic Tone
Rather than a single, centered soundhole, the Ovation B778TX-5-G features multi-soundholes around the edges of the top. This construction allows the solid spruce top to vibrate more freely, producing a robust acoustic voice with rich overtones. When playing unplugged, you'll appreciate the bass's ability to fill a room with a balanced, even tone. The multi-soundhole design also places the acoustic sound closer to your ears, letting you better hear the details of your playing.
Mid-Depth Body Delivers Comfort and Resonance
The Ovation B778TX-5-G has a mid-depth Lyrachord body that provides an ideal balance of comfort, lightweight feel and acoustic resonance. Lyrachord is a composite material known for its superior durability compared to wood, offering a uniquely rich, booming bass and a contoured shape. The body contours comfortably to your body during long practice sessions and performances. Despite its smaller size, the Lyrachord body generates impressive acoustic volume and sustain.
