It’s that simple. For those who love the clarity and bite of single-coils, this is the Dart for you. A timeless dual pickup setup wired in parallel, each with its own volume control, keeps the tone balanced. Roll one back or blend them for a full sound that shines for slap bass.
The Dart II brings back the spirit of the beloved Music Man Caprice with a sleek, offset body that simply feels great to play. It’s smooth and comfortable, with 21 frets and a hard-to-miss oversized headstock.
The Joe Dart Artist Series bass, a collaboration with Vulfpeck’s famed bassist, proves there's power in simplicity. A blank canvas, it embodies the no-frills philosophy of the original Ernie Ball Music Man design—distraction-free and fitted with flatwound strings for the smoothest feel. Built for the joy of playing.
