Ovation's Elite TX 4-string acoustic-electric bass guitar offers optimal low-end acoustic performance, while preparing you for the energy and volume of a plugged-in gig. One look at the bass and you'll notice the immediately identifiable Ovation upper-bout soundhole epaulets and headstock shape. The mid-depth Lyrachord roundback body projects your notes to an amazing degree. And the Elite TX's onboard Ovation electronics deliver that same woody tonality through your acoustic amplification or PA. Ovations are built for performance, and the Elite TX answers the call.

High-quality construction and components





The Elite TX 4-string acoustic-electric bass guitar more than lives up to the quality standards that Ovation has come to be known for. The top is crafted from a sonorous cut of solid AA spruce for the clarity and natural woody tone that acoustic performances demand. You'll even find Ovation's famous multi-soundhole epaulet on the upper bout. And the hard rock maple neck boasts a pleasing profile that is chunky enough to avoid fatigue, while being narrow enough for ease of play. And with its low price, this is definitely one of the better bass deals at Sweetwater.





Mid-depth Lyrachord Back





The round Lyrachord body found on the Elite TX 4-string acoustic-electric bass guitar is its most identifiable Ovation trait. This mid-depth design offers you multiple benefits, including how well it projects the instrument's sound forward to your audience. Lyrachord is amazingly resonant, so while some acoustic-electric basses may struggle to be heard, you'll know your Elite TX is coming through loud and clear. The round back is also very comfortable to hold against your body on the gig.





Powerful electronics





Ovation was one of the first companies to offer acoustic instruments aimed at plugged-in performance. And because they've been doing it for so long, they know a thing or two about getting optimal plugged-in tone. The Ovation OP-Pro preamp and OCP-1K under-saddle pickup in the Elite TX 4-string acoustic-electric bass work together to let you dial in the exact sound you're looking for in a live environment. The 3-band EQ is complemented by controls that offer enhanced harmonics and compression. And the onboard tuner ensures your tuning remains stable all night.
