Description

Introducing the Capri-23, a vibrant, compact bass guitar that delivers serious tone in a fun-sized package. Whether you’re rehearsing, gigging, or recording, this short-scale powerhouse offers a surprisingly full sound and exceptional comfort.

Built with a lightweight 40mm poplar body and a smooth roasted maple neck and fingerboard, it’s designed for speed, precision, and style. The 596mm scale length, C-shape neck profile, and 350mm radius make it ideal for younger players, those with smaller hands, or any bassist seeking an ultra-playable, travel-ready instrument.

The Capri-23’s voice comes from a bold PP Alnico pickup, offering punchy mids, tight lows and clear highs, controlled via a straightforward 1 Volume / 1 Tone / 1 Jack layout. Hardware includes a standard mini bass bridge with copper saddle and chrome die-cast tuners, offering solid reliability and smooth tuning action.

The Capri-23 combines playful looks with pro-grade components. Each bass also comes complete with a padded Ashdown gigbag, perfect for protecting your instrument on the move.
