A bass for players seeking a fusion of tone and style.
The Charles Berthoud CB-4 Electric Bass is an innovative instrument that delivers professional performance with high-end appointments. Designed for bassists across genres, its EMG pickups and 3-band EQ provide a spectrum of tones from modern to vintage. Players will appreciate thoughtful details like the flamed maple top, abalone inlays and Grover tuners.
Neck-Through-Body Build Offers Stability and Access
The walnut and padauk neck runs the length of the ash body, with two carbon fiber rods for reinforcement, creating an ultra-stable foundation for consistent tone and tuning. The thin C-shaped neck and 34" scale length ensure comfortable playability. The cutaway body provides access to higher frets, while the 16" radius fingerboard has 24 jumbo frets.
Premium Appointments Complement High Performance
The Charles Berthoud CB-4 Electric Bass exhibits quality craftsmanship throughout, including a flamed maple top with matching headstock, rosewood fretboard with abalone offset dot inlays and Grover tuners. A Graph Tech nut and custom bridge provide accurate intonation and sustain. Together with the electronics and neck, these components make this electric bass a professional-grade instrument.
