Between Heritage and Modernity: The Revisited PJ Spirit
"The Saint" follows the line of iconic basses combining the chunky tone of a P pickup and the definition of a J. The poplar body provides a lightweight feel and balanced mids, while the refined electronics (CTS potentiometers) ensure stage reliability. The Seafoam Green finish and matching headstock deliver a timeless style.
For What Use and Who?
Ideal for beginner to intermediate bassists as well as seasoned stage players seeking an effective and uncompromising PJ. Its playground: rock, pop, funk, soul, indie, punk, or reggae. The dual volume controls allow precise blending of P/J pickups, from a warm "roots" tone to a biting attack.
The Sound
The P-Bass pickup delivers a robust low end and present mids, perfect for anchoring the mix. The J-Bass in bridge position adds brightness, articulation, and tight grain. The wiring with two volumes + tone focuses on essentials: a progressive blend without a selector, wide sonic openness, and low noise. The 34" / 864 mm scale length promotes sustain and note clarity; the roasted maple, lively and precise, enhances attack definition.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Prefer a set of 4-string long scale bass strings 45-105 to match the 34" scale length. Add a comfortable strap (widely compatible), a set of secure strap locks, and a quality straight/right-angle instrument jack cable. The bass comes with a padded gig bag, practical for transport and protection.
