Ovation basses are noted for their clarity and pitch focus. The Lyrachord body gives them an unfair advantage over their competitor's muddy sounding acoustic/electrics. The Ovation B778 Acoustic-Electric Bass is equipped with the OP40 Preamp. The new OP40 system leaves other systems back in the 20th century. The EQ has a Mid-Shift switch that moves the center frequency of the mid band between 400Hz and 900Hz. It also features a Pre-Shape circuit for that extra "cut" you need in live band situations. The ultra-steep notch filter can zap feedback one note at a time. All this control lets you zero in on your perfect personal tone.
