With a full 34" scale, special design double X bracing, a spruce topped jumbo cutaway body with mahogany back and sides, the 2400 Series acoustic electric bass puts out more acoustic volume and sustain than others costing 2-3 times more. For amplified applications, electronics is handled by a Shadow P4 preamp with 4 band EQ and anti-feedback switch. A pickguard is included "on the side".
