Stagg SBF−40  3/4 Size Fusion Bass Guitar in Satin Black

The Stagg SBF-40 3/4 Size Fusion Bass Guitar in Satin Black is a fantastic option for players seeking a compact, comfortable instrument without compromising on sound quality. Whether you’re a beginner, a musician with smaller hands, or simply looking for a travel-friendly bass, this sleek and stylish model delivers a powerful, well-rounded tone in a more manageable size.

Design & Build Quality

The solid ash body provides a resonant and balanced sound, while the stunning black open-pore finish gives it a raw, natural aesthetic that lets the wood grain subtly shine through. Its bolt-on hard maple neck ensures stability and durability, making it a reliable companion for both practice and performance. The rosewood fingerboard is smooth and comfortable, with 24 frets offering a wide tonal range for deep, driving basslines or high-end melodic runs.

Scale Length & Playability

With a 30-inch (762mm) scale length, the SBF-40 is incredibly easy to play, reducing finger stretch and making it ideal for players who prefer a shorter reach. The reduced size also makes this bass highly portable, perfect for rehearsals, studio work, or even gigging in tighter spaces. Despite its compact dimensions, it retains a full, punchy tone that can sit comfortably in a variety of musical genres.

Electronics & Controls

One of the standout features of the SBF-40 is its versatile pickup configuration. A Jazz Bass-style single-coil pickup at the neck provides warm, rounded tones, while a Music Man-style humbucker at the bridge offers a thicker, more aggressive sound when needed. With two independent volume controls and a master tone knob, you have plenty of room to sculpt your sound, whether you're aiming for deep, thumping lows or a sharper, more articulate attack.

Hardware & Finish

Equipped with die-cast chrome machine heads, this bass holds tuning exceptionally well, ensuring stability during extended playing sessions. The individual saddle bridge allows for precise intonation adjustments, making sure every note rings out clearly across the fretboard. The black open-pore finish not only adds to the bass’s striking look but also enhances its natural resonance, contributing to a dynamic, expressive sound.

Perfect for Any Player

The Stagg SBF-40 is an excellent choice for younger players, musicians with smaller hands, or anyone looking for a lightweight and easy-to-play instrument that doesn’t sacrifice tone. Its balanced weight and ergonomic design make it comfortable for long sessions, whether you're jamming at home, recording in the studio, or performing on stage.
