The original design of the Capricorn bass combines classic elements with modern appointments to appeal to players who appreciate vintage style but want a bass that sets them apart from the rest.
The Marquee Capricorn Bass (AJ-800) has an offset Alder body, a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. The industry-standard 34″ scale length helps insure excellent tone and intonation. The two single-coil EMG-designed Alnico pickups provide round low end with midrange punch. Independent volume controls for each pickup allow players to dial in a range of tones from warm and fat to crisp and aggressive.
The unique 2-piece pickguard is reminiscent of classic designs, but adds a subtle modern edge, and the vintage-style bridge and elephant ear tuners complete the classic vibe. The Capricorn Bass is available in classic black, Olympic white, Lake Placid blue, electric red, sunburst and natural (with maple fretboard).
The Marquee Capricorn Bass is perfect for players who are looking for a great sounding, comfortable bass that is the perfect combination of classic style and contemporary design. The Capricorn bass has a list price of $279.99, and will be available in time for Summer 2009.
The Marquee Capricorn Bass is the newest addition to the popular AXL Marquee Series. AXL Guitars is also the builder of Badwater Series guitars and basses, the AXL Wavepoint and the AXL Jacknife.
