Boulder Creek EBR3-N4F Acoustic-Electric 4-String Fretless Bass

Boulder Creek EBR3-N4F Acoustic-Electric 4-String Fretless Bass Review



Boulder Creek EBR3-N4F Acoustic-Electric 4-String Fretless Bass Feature

  • Fretless acoustic-electric 4-string bass with natural satin finish
  • Port on the top side of the guitar to direct the sound to the player
  • SBS bracing system allows top to vibrate more freely, improving projection
  • Top constructed of solid cedar with mahogany back and sides
  • 34-inch long scale; AB4-T preamp with built-in chromatic tuner
Offering a combination of traditional materials and high-tech design, this fretless 4-string acoustic-electric bass guitar from Boulder Creek (model EBR3-N4F) enables you to hear your playing without plugging it in. The side port on the top projects the deep tones from the body directly to the player while the additional front port shoots the low frequencies towards the audience. When plugged in, it keeps the same natural tone with much less feedback than other acoustic electric basses.

All Boulder Creek guitars feature solid tops, solid backs, and laminated sides for strength and durability. The EBR3-N4F uses Boulder Creek's Solitaire body, which employs the Suspended Bracing System (SBS). A departure from the traditional X-brace, the SBS employs a pair of parallel aluminum braces that are anchored at three points under the top, but are otherwise suspended like a pair of towel racks. This allows the top to vibrate more freely, improving projection. The area of the top is also greater, with a soundhole the size of half-dollar and a large oval port on the side, dramatically improving bass response.

It's also equipped with the AB4-T Active Balanced Acoustic System with on-board tuner. The specially designed cable-type saddle transducer reduces the "clunk" that is inherent in traditional piezo pickup systems. The AB4-T System also feature both balanced and unbalanced outputs for maximum signal and noise reduction in both stage and studio applications.

Specifications

  • Model: EBR3-N4F
  • Body style: Jumbo Solitaire with top sound port and small front sound port standard long-scale neck
  • Finish: Satin mahogany
  • Top: Solid cedar (3mm thick)
  • Back: Solid mahogany
  • Sides: Mahogany
  • Scale: 34-inch long scale
  • Nut width: 4-string bass nut
  • Pickup system: AB4-T preamp with built-in chromatic tuner
The fretless version of the EBR3-N4 with inlayed fret markers for more accurate pitch control. All of the same tone and features of the fretted version but with a smooth playing rosewood fretless fingerboard.

Bundle includes Jasmine by Takamine ES34CFM NEX Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar Bundle with Nylon Strap, Strings, Pick Card, and Polishing Cloth - Natural.

This ES34CFM acoustic electric guitar is the electric version of Jasmine's NEX style S34CFM acoustic guitar. The solid spruce top piece has a pleasing, rounded profile that is narrow at the waist, yet broad behind the bridge. This creates a soundboard that offers balanced frequency response with deep bass, clear treble, and a sweet, round midrange that projects well. The flamed maple body carries the depth of a dreadnought to ensure a great level of volume. The NEX has the feel of a small-bodied guitar yet yields impressive performance, volume, and comfort. This makes the ES34CFM an excellent accompaniment to the singer-songwriter, or the finger-style player.

The ES34CFM's build consists of a flamed maple body, solid spruce top, mahogany neck, rosewood bridge and fretboard, and a symmetrical neck for comfortable and intricate fret progressions. Featuring a multiple circle rosette, chrome tuners, chrome hardware, and a soft satin finish, this ES34CFM NEX is built to last. Whether on stage, out in the festival parking lot, or in your practice room, this guitar sounds killer.
