Full Description

Superior tonal quality

The Tanglewood TWBBAB Blackbird Electro Acoustic Bass stands out with its all-Mahogany body, including the top, back, and sides, which imparts a warm and rich resonance. This wood choice ensures deep bass tones and sharp, clear highs, creating a balanced sound profile that is both vibrant and detailed. The natural properties of Mahogany allow it to enhance the overall tonal expression, making it perfect for a variety of musical styles.

Advanced electronics

Equipped with the Tanglewood Premium Plus EQ system, this bass guitar offers extensive control over the sound output. This state-of-the-art electronics setup allows bassists to fine-tune their tone to match any performance environment or musical genre. From adjusting bass and treble frequencies to shaping mid-range tones, the Premium Plus EQ system ensures that each note is projected with clarity and precision.

Elegant design and finish

The Smokestack Black Satin finish of the TWBBAB not only gives it a sleek and understated elegance but also showcases the beautiful natural grain of the Mahogany wood. This finish is meticulously applied to provide durability and to enhance the visual appeal of the instrument. The refined look is complemented by practical features such as ABS binding and a stylish rosette with ABS edging, making the guitar as attractive as it is functional.

Optimised playability

The design of the TWBBAB Blackbird caters to the comfort and technical needs of bassists. With a nut width of 43mm and a scale length of 864mm, the bass provides ample space for finger positioning, facilitating both complex fingerstyle and aggressive strumming techniques. The neck is joined at the 15th fret, offering easier access to the upper frets, and the engineered wood fingerboard and bridge enhance playability while maintaining intonation and sustain.
