The AB2.5BOP is a seriously impressive bass for the money. The combination of swamp ash, a roasted maple board, and those Tesla pickups gives it a really modern, punchy tone with surprising clarity. This is a fantastic option for players looking for a 5-string with a great feel and a versatile sound without a premium-priced tag.
