The Johnson Dobro Bass has the exact same specifications and qualities as the Regal Dobro Bass.

The Johnson resonator bass guitar has a big, punchy sound you can't find on the standard acoustic bass. The 10 l/2" resonator cone is like having a built-in speaker. This versatile bass is available with an optional pickup system for plugging into an amp or PA system.

Length: 44.25" Tall
Body Heighth: 19" Tall
Body Depth: 3.5"
Action: Low to Medium (not high)

Tone Quality: Has a deep tone with both volume and bite.

Acoustic Volume: The loudest I've heard for an acoustic bass...also attested by our customers who have said the same.

This bass has an easy playing action and a sleek mahogany neck with bound rosewood fingerboard.
