Ernie Ball Music Man Caprice Passive Bass, Heritage Tobacco Burst, Rosewood Board
This product has been discontinued.
Player's Perspective
Best known for their revolutionary StingRay bass, Music Man have never stopped innovating and pushing the envelope of what a modern bass sound is. But here's a decided step in the vintage direction! If you just want a tried and true passive design with FAT sounding pickups that will play like a dream and sound like a tone monster, the Caprice has to be on your list of instruments to consider. This is very much a "what you see is what you get" sort of bass, and that's what's so beautiful about it! The neck feels heavenly. It's that typical J-bass 1 1/2" nut width and slim and fast playing neck that makes you feel like you can do anything you want with that fretboard. Whether you're grooving, rocking, funking, or thumping, the Caprice has got you covered.
Manufacturer's Description
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.
