The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   The RockBass Alien Standard 5 String acoustic electric bass fills the gap between the double bass and the electric bass. It provides a wealth of opportunities for expression and adds an extra dimension to the musician's domain. Unusual styling in the convenient cutaway, the off-center asymmetric soundhole, add to the uniqueness of the overall shape and warm tones of this acoustic model. This 5 string Alien is 34″ scale with a body constructed on a laminated Spruce top with laminated Bubinga sides and back. The laminate construction of the bass helps stabilize the bass, in addition to providing extra strength for the body of the instrument. The neck is Mah with a RW fretboard with 24 extra high jumbo nickel silver frets.   Equipped with Fishman electronics. Even without amplification, the basic character is evident; a growling tone across the instrument's full range with a big bottom.
