Ovation's Trademark Tone at a Quality Price

The Ovation Applause AEB4-7S Mid-depth Acoustic-electric Bass is a fantastic option for novice and veteran players alike, boasting Ovation's highly lauded design innovations at a wallet-friendly price. Ovation made sure to include their trademark lyrachord body in the Applause AEB4-7S, maximizing internal vibrations and resonance while adding to the overall balanced sound of the bass. Capped with an ovangkol fingerboard, the mahogany neck is shaped similar to what is found on modern-day electric basses — it's thinner than comparable necks for a significant speed boost in complete comfort.  The 3-band EQ boosts and cuts frequencies where needed, with a handy tuner to keep everything sounding its absolute best.

Lyrachord body ensures rafter-reaching projection

Like their pricier siblings from Ovation, Applause acoustic-electric basses feature a lyrachord body with a curved back. This combination of aerospace-quality materials with groundbreaking construction methods enhances projection and volume in ways that standard flat-back acoustic basses simply can't. The result is an undeniably unique sound that perfectly fits the needs of buskers and gigging musicians while lending exceptional comfort in both sitting and standing positions. Whether you're just getting started on your playing adventure or you're adding a top-notch A/E to your arsenal at a reasonable cost, the Applause AEB4-7S proudly ticks all the boxes.

Powerful onboard preamp with a highly versatile 3-band EQ

Ovation is recognized as the first manufacturer to add pickups and preamps into acoustic guitars, so it comes as no surprise that the CE304T Preamp in the Applause AEB4-7S is a showstopper. You get a 3-band EQ for fine-tuning bass, mid, and treble frequencies, with a built-in tuner right next door — feel free to leave the clip-on at the practice space! Just plug in, tune up, and bask in the studio-quality sound of this impressive 4-string.
