Warm Acoustic-Electric Bass Tone from a Comfortable Cutaway Body
Get more control of your tone with Washburn's AB40SH Stu Hamm acoustic-electric bass. The back of this Hamm signature bass features individual level controls for each string, as well as a master level control for all four strings. An arched spruce-topped body in a cutaway shape, along with maple back and sides, provides boatloads of warm acoustic tone, and a cozy mahogany neck with 24 frets gives your notes plenty of body and sustain. Custom piezo electronics capture and craft this baby's tone into a clear signal ready for amplification, and the intonatable monorail bridge keeps your strings in tune with sustain for days

Spruce and Maple Cutaway Archtop Body
Spruce and maple make a great tonewood combination that allows each note from your Stu Hamm acoustic-electric bass to ooze out into the room. Spruce is an elastic and resilient wood that looks attractive and holds up well to dings and scratches. It brings a crisp aggressiveness to your playing with just the right amount of attack. Maple assists in a similar manner, emphasizing a somewhat rounded brightness to your playing. Rich, appealing, and slicing tones are always at your side with this bass.

Warm, Resonant Mahogany Neck
You'll love the inviting feel that your Stu Hamm bass yields. Mahogany is a great wood for necks -- it pushes your lower and middle frequencies, and you'll never be short of sustain. This Washburn's rosewood fingerboard is super-smooth to the touch, and with 24 frets, you'll have plenty of headroom to explore more melodic avenues if you enjoy taking your bass for a walk or changing things up for solos.

Classy Looks with Cool Bass Clef Inlays
This melodious axe's cutaway body looks as great as it plays. While your audience watches you take advantage of your bass's easily accessible higher frets, they'll also notice the attractive custom Stu Hamm ying-yang bass clef inlays across this bass's rosewood fingerboard. An distinctive oval-shaped soundhole next to the simple control layout on the AB40SH's spruce top gives off an elegant and modern look as well.

Cutting-Edge Electronics and Mad Controls
All that warm tone would go to waste if it weren't for the Washburn AB40SH's custom piezo electronics. Each note will be packed with warmth, resonance, a full-bodied character, and an all-around natural tonal contour. On the back of your Stu Hamm bass, you'll find a set of individual level controls for each string, as well as a master level control for your to customize your output signal.
