They have a “U” fork shape which hones the magnetic field and makes for bright and focused bridge pickup tones. The bridge pickup is a single coil with the most unique pole pieces I have ever seen on a pickup.

Pickups/Hardware: The neck pickup is basically a P bass style humbucker housed under a large chrome plated cover but what makes it incredible unique are the 4 mini CTS pots that adjust the output of each pole piece. It has a 20 fret ebony fingerboard with 34” scale length 1 9/16” nut width and pearloid dots. Neck: The bolt-on mahogany neck has a carbon fiber strip that runs the whole length of the neck making it rigid and impervious to warpage. It is in fantastic condition, plays and sounds great and ships in its original brown hardshell case with gold interior.īody: Offset mahogany body with belly and arm contours and 2 tone tobacco burst finish. It has just been setup and restrung with a new set of half-round D’addario strings.

It even has a totally functioning string mute, mono and stereo output and all original hardware. The pickups in this bass are a design that is 100% Ovation- the neck pickup has 4 individual mini CTS pots for adjusting the output of each pole piece and the bridge pickup pole pieces have a very distinct design for focusing the magnetic field. Summary: Very few basses compete with the unique functionality and style of the illustrious Ovation Magnum 1! Its offset body shape is stunning and the graphite strip running the length of the neck makes it rigid and impervious to warpage.
