A Fretless Bass for Campfires and Acoustic Sets

There’s nothing quite like the playing experience and enriching low end of an awesome acoustic bass. For "unplugged" sets, bassists recommend the Breedlove ECO Pursuit Exotic S Concerto Fretless Bass CE. This acoustic-electric bass comes with high-quality appointments that make it a luxurious yet affordable instrument. Chief among these features is the solid myrtlewood top that delivers a satisfying, punchy fundamental. Sustainably sourced myrtlewood EcoTonewood back and sides provide the extra oomph needed to keep up with other acoustic instruments around a campfire. For occasions when you need more volume, you can plug into the bass’s onboard Fishman Presys I electronics. Like all other ECO Pursuit Exotic S instruments, the ECO Pursuit Exotic S Concerto Fretless Bass CE features ethically and sustainably harvested tonewoods that make no lasting impact on the planet.

Myrtlewood body supplies premium tone

Myrtlewood has become a mainstay in the Breedlove lineup, and for very good reason. Native to the Pacific Northwest, myrtlewood showcases a blended sound with distinct tonal elements borrowed from mahogany, rosewood, and maple. With the right touch, you can use the solid myrtlewood top and myrtlewood EcoTonewood back and sides to pull out whatever tone you need at a moment’s notice. Myrtlewood is all the rage here because each set of myrtlewood back and sides has a totally unique figure, making each myrtlewood guitar a one-of-a-kind instrument.

100% sustainably built

There are a lot of guitar builders who champion sustainability, but none comes close to matching Breedlove. The company’s dedication to complete environmental sustainability isn’t just a selling point; it’s a creed by which they do business. And now,we are proud to announce that every Breedlove ECO Collection guitar is made with 100% ethically sourced, sustainably harvested tonewoods! That's right, from now on, every instrument bearing the Breedlove name will utilize ethically harvested and sustainable tonewoods.

Creating the next generation of acoustic basses

Building a sustainably sourced yet budget-friendly acoustic bass isn’t without its unique challenges. However, Breedlove has risen to the occasion in a way that few else could. In fact, the designers at Breedlove have changed the very fabric of the modern acoustic bass with their revolutionary EcoTonewood backs and sides. EcoTonewood isn’t some synthetic material to replace tonewoods; it’s exactly the opposite. It's a laminate material featuring two stunning outer tonewood plies with a center ply of African mahogany for added resonance that few other laminate basses can match.

Most of today’s bass manufacturers use a 3-ply laminate or layer system for their more affordable models. The structure most often has two tonewood outer plies laminated over an inexpensive softwood core. While this construction method cuts costs and delivers a solid acoustic bass to the customer, a softwood core can stifle extra resonance and lessen the overall tonality. That’s where Breedlove’s EcoTonewood is different. By using African mahogany as the inner ply, the bass can live up to its true potential with a vibrant, full-bodied tone.

Designing outstanding acoustic instruments at exceptional prices

A pursuit of flawless acoustic tone has encouraged Breedlove to push the limits of wallet-friendly design. Each Designed in Bend bass benefits from the research and experimentation conducted by the expert builders in Breedlove’s Oregon headquarters. This closely guarded collection of building techniques ensures that your bass performs up to its full potential.

Breedlove: guitars you can feel good about

From the company’s beginning in 1990, Breedlove has focused a lot of their efforts on offsetting their impact on the planet without compromising the quality of their instruments. Their radical approach to sustainability led Breedlove to create their Tonewood Certification Program and commit to visiting the locations where their timber is harvested to ensure that their sustainability standards are met. The company has introduced player-centered innovations, including top-loading bridges, fine-tuned voicings, and unique neck profiles. From the Discovery to the Legacy, each and every Breedlove is made with an uncompromising dedication to quality sound, flawless workmanship, and complete environmental sustainability. Buying a Breedlove is much more than purchasing a top-notch acoustic bass — it’s buying a bass that you can feel good about.
