Widely regarded as a tremendously balanced, tight-grained tonewood with clarity across all frequency ranges and dynamics, spruce is the perfect choice for an acoustic bass. And when paired with darker sapele back and sides, the warmth and richness of this acoustic bass really begin to emerge. Throw Martin’s acclaimed X-bracing into the mix, and you have a perfectly projecting sonic recipe. You might not initially think that tonewood-seeking and bass guitars cross paths too often, but the case of the Martin D Jr-10E bass is a prime example of why woods count!
There are many benefits to playing a short-scale instrument, the first being that they are generally more comfortable to hold and sit with. This bass is also a space-conscious choice, making it an excellent fit for dorm rooms, studio apartments, small clubs, acoustic jams, and traveling. Equipped with a high-performance-taper Dreadnought Junior neck, the D Jr-10E acoustic-electric bass allows for swift and easy riffing up and down the fretboard, delivering a complementary degree of comfort to the body shape and scale length. Plus, the specially designed Martin short-scale bass strings will blow you away with their playability!
Though we’re confident you’ll dig the unplugged acoustic tones of the D Jr-10E bass, this beauty sounds just as regal when DI’d or paired with your acoustic amp of choice. And a large piece of that equation is Fishman PreSys VT electronics! Whether tracking in your home studio, plugging in for a club-stage gig, or delivering beefy bass tones in larger spaces, this preamp system is more than happy to accommodate in stunningly realistic quality — it wouldn’t be a Martin if it couldn’t!
