Independent shopping perspective
Classic 44-14 is a USA-made four-string bass with a 34-inch scale, graphite-reinforced quarter-sawn rock maple neck and a 22-fret maple fingerboard. Its alder double-cutaway body combines a Lakland MM humbucker with a Vintage J single-coil. The control set is built for adjustment from the bass itself: blend the pickups, use the 3-band EQ, pull the master volume to bypass the preamp, and select the bridge-pickup coil-tap setting with the three-way toggle. A black Tolex hardshell case is included.
