Ernie Ball Music Man Unveils Joe Dart II Bass


Vulfpeck fans with keen eyes may have noticed that Joe Dart was sporting a new bass in the latest Fearless Flyers music videos. Now Ernie Ball Music Man has revealed the instrument to be the Joe Dart II, which adds to the company’s line of artist basses.


“The Dart II offers a classic passive tone within a full-scale 34-inch package with its custom contoured body and simplified dual single-coil layout,” the company writes. “The bass features a premium ash body, select maple neck, and passive split-coil pickups at the heart of its warm, punchy tonality. Dual volume controls are standard, but there are no tone controls to color the sound; therefore, the tone is manipulated solely by the user’s technique and finesse.”







Other features include a Natural Velvet finish, a custom artist series neckplate, and 22 frets. Hear it in Joe Dart’s hands in the release video from Vulpeck:







The Ernie Ball Music Man Joe Dart II bass is limited to 100 basses for its first run. Each will ship with a limited edition numbered neck plate, a premium G&G case, and a certificate signed by Joe Dart. It’s available now for $2,699.
