This Breedlove Pursuit is a really thoughtful acoustic bass. The myrtlewood top gives it a unique, mellow voice, while the mahogany back adds warmth and sustain. It's a great option for gigging musicians or studio players needing a versatile, amplified acoustic bass that isn't overly boomy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the Presys I is straightforward with simple EQ controls for shaping your amplified tone on stage – easily manageable even under pressure.
