Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Concert CE Acoustic Electric Bass. Twilight Myrtlewood Myrtlewood HB

Bass players need love too, and this exquisite instrument treats them right. An arresting Twilight finish highlights the sustainable, natural, individual beauty of myrtlewood. Breedlove’s sonically superior EcoTonewood technology lets you sound better than ever. Myrtle’s magic mix of rosewood’s bottom, mahogany’s mids and maple’s clear, ringing treble gives full voice to a rich sounding acoustic bass guitar. Hold down the low end in style, whether you’re on stage, or jamming in the living room. Appointments—in addition to exacting Fishman Presys I electronics—include black binding, copper tuners, and a sleek, easy-playing, satin finish 32” scale African mahogany neck. A soft cutaway allows access to every expressive fret, just in case the band lets you solo for a few bars. Look good, sound better, and feel great with a Breedlove Pursuit Exotic S Concert Twilight Bass CE.

Made from sustainably-sourced exotic and native tonewoods. No clear-cut trees are used in these instruments. Breedlove uses salvaged and individually harvested timber and has deep relationships with responsible suppliers around the globe. As we move towards sustainability across all lines, owner Tom Bedell has visited 15 countries to discover exactly where the wood comes from, how it is selected and harvested, and how this affects the wildlife, the community, the forest and the planet.

THE CONCERT BODY SHAPE

The Concert is out most popular body shape, favored by played because it is well-balanced, compact, comfortable to play, and offers all the qualities of a great sounding guitar. It generates a wonderfully articulate range of tone with an ample low end that is never boomy, but always felt. The Concert works well when played fingerstyle, as vocal accompaniment, or at a full strum.

MYRTLEWOOD TOP, BACK, & SIDES

Popularized by Breedlove, myrtlewood, from the windblown Oregon coast, combine the best elements of rosewood, mahogany and maple--rich bass, warm midrange and clear, bright trebles--for truly versatile guitars. Each sonically distinct instrument is individualized by the gnarled, wildly varied, but always arresting grain patterns.

BREEDLOVE PINLESS BRIDGE

Breedlove's pinless Delta bridge is a distinctive element, alright, with a sleek, modern contour that adds an extra bit of unexpected beauty to every instrument, from Discovery to Legacy. But it also adds welcome functionality while anchoring great sound. Beginners love the fact that string changes are much easier without having to wrestle a traditional pin bridge. Pros love it for the same reason! No more looking for lost pins during fast backstage string swap. And its low profile makes for perfect right hand damping.

BREEDLOVE NECK

Breedlove guitars feature a slimmer neck profile, which enables comfortable play, even with smaller hands. The hand-rubbed, semi-gloss Breedlove neck finish also contributes to ideal playability. The labor-intensive finish process includes precise finish coat applications, fine sanding, and hand buffing and rubbing.

ECOTONEWOOD BACK & SIDES

With EcoTonewood, Breedlove makes laminate technology sustainable, introducing a resonant core tonewood layer or clear-cut free, individually harvested African mahogany in place of the typical tone-robbing softwoods used in standard acoustic guitar manufacture. Coupled with Breedlove's deep research into revolutionary body shapes; building to target tonewood weight adds to the optimized, natural sound o feach guitar in the ECO Collection. And, Breedlove creates these better sounding laminate guitars while being kind to the earth while maintaining an accessible, entry-level price-point.
