Product Description

Vintage Vibe, Modern Muscle

Straight up, this 2019 Music Man Cutlass Bass is a tone machine with roots. It’s got that old-school, passive thump you feel in your chest, but with the buttery playability and rock-solid stability Music Man is famous for. Finished in a dazzling Seafoam Green Sparkle, this bass doesn’t just sound incredible—it’s a certified head-turner. This pre-owned beauty is in excellent condition and ready to lay down the low end on stage or in the studio.

The Heart of the Tone

At the core of this Cutlass is an alder body, known for its balanced, clear, and full-bodied tone with a slight upper-midrange bump that helps it cut through a mix. Paired with a Music Man offset humbucker, you get a sound that’s thick, round, and articulate. It’s all passive, baby—just pure, unadulterated tone shaped by a simple volume, a tone control with a beefy .1µF capacitor, and your hands.

Effortless Playability

Music Man necks are legendary for a reason. This one is select maple with a smooth, ultra-light satin finish that feels broken-in from the first note. The sculpted 5-bolt neck joint provides unbelievable access to the upper frets, so you’re never held back. Whether you’re holding down a simple groove or flying across the fretboard, this bass stays out of your way and just lets you play.

Rock-Solid Foundation

From the Schaller BM tuners to the vintage-style top-loaded steel bridge, every piece of hardware is built for performance. The oversized headstock isn’t just for looks; it provides a straight string pull for killer tuning stability. This is a pro-grade instrument designed to be played, night after night.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

Great question. While Music Man is famous for their active electronics, the Cutlass offers a purely passive signal path. This gives you a warmer, more traditional tone that responds incredibly well to your playing dynamics. It’s less about surgical EQ and more about raw, organic thump—perfect for players who love vintage-inspired sounds.
This is a classic wood combination for a reason. The alder body provides a full, balanced sound with great resonance, while the maple neck adds snap, clarity, and note definition. It’s a versatile foundation that works for virtually any style, from mellow soul to aggressive rock.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
