Ernie Ball Music Man Caprice Bass at a Glance:

Two distinct pickups allow you to dial in your ideal tone
Truss rod wheel makes neck maintenance simple
Patented Compensated Nut delivers incredibly precise intonation

Two distinct pickups allow you to dial in your ideal tone
The Ernie Ball Music Man Caprice Bass sports a pair of humbucking pickups with distinct voicings for maximum sonic range. The split-coil pickup delivers the punch and power of a classic P-style bass, perfect for rock and blues. The humbucker towards the bridge captures a midrange-rich sound for J-style bass tones, ideal for when you need to hold your place in the mix without excessive bottom end. And with dual volume controls, there's a world of tones to explore between these two pickups.
Truss rod wheel makes neck maintenance simple
Music Man bass guitars like the Caprice Bass sport their innovative truss rod adjustment wheel, which makes it easy to fine-tune the neck. Just take anything small like an Allen wrench, nail, small screw driver, etc., and poke it into the truss rod adjustment wheel. Turn the wheel a bit at a time until your neck feels just right, and your Caprice Bass will be ready to rock. You won't have to do it often, but this innovative feature just goes to show you that Music Man instruments are made for hard-working and hard-playing musicians.
Patented Compensated Nut delivers incredibly precise intonation
Every Music Man guitar or bass with a fixed bridge also has their patented Compensated Nut, and you'll hear the precise intonation across the entire neck. As Music Man describes it, the Compensated Nut gives each string "an individual intonation pocket that slightly changes the effective string length, causing notes that traditionally play sharp to be more in tune." It's just another way your Music Man guitar or bass will help you sound your best, and another example of why Music Man basses are so popular at Sweetwater.
