This left-handed Alien Standard 4 NT is a solid option for players wanting an amplified acoustic bass without the premium price tag. The medium scale makes it very approachable, and the Fishman electronics are surprisingly good for the money. It's perfect for gigging musicians or studio work where a natural acoustic tone with some added punch is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s good, but lacks the nuanced harmonic richness of basses with all-solid wood construction and more sophisticated preamp systems. Still, the Fishman electronics perform admirably for the price point.
The mahogany neck has a fairly standard profile – not overly thick or thin – so it should be acceptable for most hand sizes, though it's on the slimmer side.
