Ovation Applause AEB4-7S Traditional Series Mid-Depth Acoustic-Electric Bass Guitar Honeyburst

The Applause Heritage Elite models are equipped with tops made of selected spruce wood.

Like all Elite models, they feature Ovation's signature Multi Soundholes. This innovative construction uses several small openings at the edge of the guitar top instead of a single, central soundhole.

This has two positive effects: firstly, the available vibration surface in the centre of the soundboard is increased, and secondly, the sound comes out much closer to the ear of the person playing.

In addition, the Multi Soundholes are visually enriching and are a guaranteed eye-catcher on stage.

Applause Heritage models are mainly equipped with selected spruce or cedar tops. Of course, they feature the classic Ovation features in basic design, such as the classic Lyrachord roundback body, a slim neck for comfortable playability and a great feel.

In addition to traditional acoustic guitars, the Applause Heritage line also includes nylon-string and bass models, all in a variety of traditional Ovation finishes.

As part of the technical equipment, the CE304T preamp with 3-band EQ and integrated tuner delivers a convincingly good electro-acoustic sound and thus rounds off the overall package of these guitars excellently.

The instruments of the Heritage series are divided into the Traditional and Elite lines, which are distinguished by the types of soundholes used in each case (centre soundhole or multi soundholes).
