The Bc 62-SW 4 is a solid-wood acoustic-electric bass guitar engineered to deliver a superb sound. The soundboard features a proprietary construction that includes an unconventional soundhole designed to enhance low-end response. The combination of an Sitka spruce soundboard and black walnut back and sides produces a perfect tonal balance. The bass comes with an undersaddle pickup, an internal microphone, and LR Baggs Anthem SL electronics.
Open-Pore Finish
The Bc 62-SW 4 features Open-Pore Finish, a special thin finish that promotes the natural sonic qualities of tonewoods and provides an excellent level of surface protection. The finish accentuates low frequencies and produces a natural woody sound.
Stylish binding
The instrument owes its stylish appearance to binding made from faux tortoise.
Built to Play, Built to Last With Furch’s CNR System®
The Furch CNR System® neck design offers unmatched stability and precision. With a dual-action truss rod encased in a rigid carbon structure, it allows for smooth and fine adjustments, ensuring optimal playability and a setup that lasts, so your guitar always performs at its best.
- A fully adjustable dual-action truss rod for highly precise adjustment of the neck bow in both the convex and concave directions.
- A highly rigid carbon casing that maintains the neck in the set position over a period much longer than is the case with standard neck joint designs and, at the same time, facilitates a gradual bow in the neck, a factor of essential importance for playability.
- A casting made of special alloy located inside the neck heel that ensures a stable position of the neck and its angle vis-à-vis the body.
Fretless version
The Bc 62-SW 4 is also available as a fretless version which can produce tones approximating those of a double bass.
LR Baggs Anthem
The instrument comes with LR Baggs Anthem SL electronic offering a balanced frequency response with excellent clarity for the purest amplified sound.
Excellent machine heads
The Bc 62-SW 4 has an excellent tuning stability courtesy of Furch Machine Black Chrome machine heads with a highly precise 1:18 gear ratio.
