Bass of the Week: Meet the Marusya DC2 – A Boutique Bass With a Striking Look

Marusya Guitars DC2 Bass Body

This week, we’re checking out a DC2 from Marusya Guitars with an awesome white motif. Its ash body has a white matte finish that lets some of the grain pattern show through for an organic effect. Along with a matching headstock, the white theme is continued on its pickguard, pickup covers, and control knobs.

The four-string bass is fitted with a pair of EMG single coil pickups with independent volume knobs and a master tone control. Hardware includes a Hipshot bridge and Gotoh tuners.
