Description

Edit description

The CHB-2 is a 34″ scale semi-hollow bass that builds on the success of the CHB-1. Built to the same specification and adjusted in weight for perfect balance, the CHB-2 is available in both left and right handed configuration.

With improved access to the upper frets, and upgraded parts we are constantly improving the CHB range.

It has maple construction and an ebony fretboard with 22 frets. Two Humbucking Pickups supply a versatile sound.

This model has flamed maple top and chrome hardware.
