Gold Tone PBB Paul Beard Resonator Bass Guitar

Gold Tone PBB Paul Beard Resonator Bass Guitar

The Gold Tone PBB Paul Beard Resonator Bass Guitar is a groundbreaking addition to the Folkternative line, merging traditional resonator craftsmanship with modern bass functionality. Designed in collaboration with resophonic master Paul Beard and Gold Tone president Wayne Rogers, this bass features an all-mahogany body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard, combining durability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. The genuine Beard resonator cone and spider bridge deliver a rich, resonant low-end voice while maintaining the punch and clarity of a professional-grade instrument.

Sonically, the PBB produces a deep, powerful bass tone with exceptional projection and sustain, perfect for stage performance, recording sessions, or ensemble playing. Its custom humbucking pickup with onboard tone and volume controls allows seamless amplified performance, preserving the natural resonator character while providing versatile electric tonal options. Over time, the instrument’s warm, resonant qualities mature, rewarding players with a dynamic and expressive sound.

Ideal for professional bassists, folk, blues, and roots musicians, the PBB stands out for its unique combination of low-end authority and resonator charm. Whether you are performing live, recording in the studio, or exploring new sonic textures, this model delivers unmatched versatility, style, and playability.
