Construction

The Coquette Bass offers rich, velvety sound in a presentation that
embodies style, balance, speed, and comfort. The neck runs the entire length of the body and is constructed of several pieces of quarter sawn maple. This method of construction provides for superior sustain, rigidity, and projection as the entire length of the strings vibrate on this one piece of wood. The “wings” that make up the rest of the body are constructed of carefully selected hardwood. The “wings,” while providing the shape of the body, also serve to reinforce the center neck section, ensuring maximum solidity and longevity.

Fingerboard

The fingerboard is radiused to a comfortable 9.5″ and is carefully fitted with medium-jumbo frets, highly polished to provide a fast playing response.

Pickups

The Coquette Bass is fitted with a pair of Nelson “Bass Chief” pickups, mounted to a gold-anodized aluminum pickguard. These pickups have been specially designed to faithfully reproduce the bass register yielding
balanced, clear, resonant tones. The sound is truly unlike that of anything you’ve heard. The pickups are wax potted so undesirable microphonics are eliminated. The aluminum pickguard affords greater wear resistance and beauty, while blocking unwanted magnetic interference which causes hum.

Configurations

The Coquette bass is offered in either single, or double pickup form. The double pickup model employs standard wiring with a pickup selector switch, and single volume and tone controls. The single pickup model utilizes the exclusive Nelson “Insta-tone” controls. Deep bass, normal, or treble sounds are available to the player effortlessly with the flip of the selector switch. The effect is infinitely variable by using the tone control knob. The Coquette bass is also offered with either 1 11/16″ or 1 1/2″ nut widths so playing comfort is ensured.

Finish

To round out the beautiful package, the Coquette bass is finished in gleaming, genuine lacquer that is highly polished. Many colors are available; please inquire with your color request.
