The all-new Caprice and Cutlass basses are Ernie Ball Music Man’s first fully passive basses. For the uninitiated, active basses have built-in pre-amps that boost signal from the bass to the amp. Generally, this makes most active basses very up-front and clean in their sound. Passive basses, on the other hand, have no built-in pre-amps. All the sound coloration comes from the amp, or any other effects the bass is plugged into. This generally results in a more low-fi, old-school bass sound. Results may vary, but those are the general principles.
Our new passive basses are influenced by the vintage stylings of our new StingRay and Cutlass electric guitars, providing a familiar and classic design quality, but also modern playability. Both feature brand-new body styles and a brand-new Ernie Ball Music Man bridge.
