AXL (pronounced A.X.L.) is your complete source for original electric guitars, powerful amplifiers and essential accessories. From the contoured bodies on the electric guitars to the premium tube configurations found in the amp lines, all of AXL's products are designed in the U.S. by a dedicated team of world class artists and engineers. Each model goes through rigorous field-testing, as well as testing from professional musicians. World-renown creative minds are behind AXL's award-winning guitar lines, offering incredible twists on classic body designs and developing new body shapes that capture every player's attention (and imagination).
The original design of the Capricorn bass combines classic elements with modern appointments to appeal to players who appreciate vintage style but want a bass that sets them apart from the rest.
The Badwater Capricorn Bass (AJ-820) has an offset Alder body, a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. The industry-standard 34” scale length helps insure excellent tone and intonation. The two single-coil EMG-designed Alnico pickups provide round low end with midrange punch.
Independent volume controls for each pickup allow players to dial in a range of tones from warm and fat to crisp and aggressive. The antiqued 2-piece pickguard is reminiscent of classic designs, but adds a subtle modern edge, and the vintage-style bridge and elephant ear tuners complete the vibe of a bass that bridges the gap between vintage and modern.
The crackle brown/white finish has a reptilian texture throughout its body. The off-white finish has a rusted, phantom-like appearance. The brown finish model has the look of a museum-quality guitar stored away for decades.
AXL is famous for their versatility, amazing craftsmanship, unique designs and outstanding values. Whether you play rip roaring heavy metal, classic hard rock or even radio friendly pop, AXL instruments are suited for your sound.
