Described by Dart as "the ultimate live axe," this signature bass features an ash body, select maple neck, and passive split-coil pickups.
The Dart II features a premium ash body, select maple neck, and passive split-coil pickups at the heart of its warm, punchy tonality. Dual volume controls are standard, but there are no tone controls to color the sound; therefore, the tone is manipulated solely by the user's technique and finesse. Finished in Natural Velvet, it comes with 22 frets and a custom artist series neckplate, and is tuned to E standard with custom gauge .045 - .105" Ernie Ball stainless steel roundwound wound bass strings.
“The design aim was for high speed and smooth playability on the neck, and a deep, rich Music Man tone from the picketups, all on an old-school passive bass,” Joe continues. “I think we nailed it, and I think I’ll be playing it on stage for years to come.”
The first 100 Joe Dart II basses will ship with a limited edition premium GnG case.
