For several years the Dolphin Pro I bass has been one of the most distinctive and recognizable instruments available. Now, for the first time ever, the Dolphin body style is available in a set-neck version, which gives it both a unique character and a lower retail price. But the new Dolphin SN (Set-Neck) is not just a cheaper version of the neck-thru model.

To achieve its tonal characteristic afzelia is used for the body wood, the same wood used for the Streamer Stage II bass. Well known for its ability to provide very tight and clear lows along with strong and singing highs. The resonance of this wood further enhanced by the Tone Chambers System inserted into the body bringing out the afzalea's character while making the bass lighter and more comfortable to play. The traditional ovangkol neck with a wenge fingerboard were designed to fit perfectly into a glued-in socket. The ending result is an extremely strong neck joint that does not significantly inhibit the resonance of the bass. It's the ultimate blending of neck-thru and bolt-on neck designs… truly the best of both worlds.

The Dolphin SN features the same system that its big brother, the Dolphin Pro I uses. Featuring an active MEC Twin-J pickup in the bridge position and an active MEC J pickup in the neck position, with a 2-band active MEC preamp onboard, the Dolphin SN has a vast range of clean, tone-shaping ability, making it the ideal bass for players who find themselves needing to cover a myriad of genres and styles.
