Producing warm bass timbres with sustain and clarity, the Solo Fretless Bass works well for practice, ensemble and solo work. The Solo Fretless Bass takes advantage of the innovative sound hole and the solid red cedar top to let the player feel and hear each note. The Breedlove Solo Fretless Bass is far more audible to the player without sacrificing any forward sound projection, while the proprietary Breedlove Bridge Truss adds resonance while relieving stress on the instrument’s top. Ships with flat wound D’Addario strings.
Body Shape
The Breedlove Jumbo is Breedlove's largest body shape by volume. Playing the Jumbo is a powerful experience: Sound feels as though it is propelled by the movement of so much air inside the body. It's the perfect shape for conveying big, beautiful tone across all four strings.
Back and Sides
The dense mahogany back and sides give it a strong visual presence and a bit more upper harmonic content and low-end clarity. It's a good choice for many sizes and shapes, and works well for strumming and fingerstyle.
Hand-Crafted Neck
The neck wood is mahogany which makes it comfortable and easy to play.
Breedlove Bridge Truss
For centuries, one of the most difficult components of crafting guitars has been relieving the stress on the bridge without overbuilding the top and dampening sound. Originally invented over 20 years ago, the Breedlove Bridge Truss is still one of the most innovative truss systems on the market today. Refined and improved over the years, the Breedlove Bridge Truss relieves stress on the top, allowing use of a thinner top, providing for greater sustain and balance, more expression from the instrument, and greater structural integrity – all while adding longevity to the instrument.
Electronics
The LR Baggs Stage Pro gives you great plugged-in sound. The back-lit, colored LED tuner also allows you to see if you're in tune on a dark stage. This set-up lets you play with confidence, so you can focus on your performance.
Aesthetic Appointments
High-gloss finish, black binding and offset position markers give this guitar an understated elegance.
Set-Up and Quality Assurance in Bend, Oregon USA
Our comprehensive quality control process provides the player with an instrument that will play great right out of the box. Prior to shipment, every Breedlove instrument undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection in Bend, Oregon by our expert U.S. Quality Control Team. We start with a visual inspection: checking aesthetic and structural elements of the body, and all components, for flaws. Next, each guitar is tuned and undergoes a play test, where our craftspeople check nut height, relief, action, and string height. Based on the results of the play test, we then adjust for maximum playability. Next, each instrument is buffed and polished by hand with painstaking attention to detail. Once the instrument has passed inspection, a signed QC sticker is placed, and the instrument is carefully packed and shipped.
