Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The Ortega MAGUSPRO/B-RC is a surprisingly capable pickup system for classical bass guitars, especially for gigging musicians who want amplification without fuss. The built-in tuner and USB-C charging are smart touches, and the sound is considerably warmer than many budget piezo systems – a great option for students and performers needing an affordable, reliable amplified sound.
