The Thumper Heart:
This J-Style Thumper utilizes a high-output pairing of passive EMG TBHZ and Reversed PHZ pickups. To optimize playability, the neck pickup has bee moved back 3/8" creating a dedicated landing zone for slap style playing without sacrificing the signature deep-position low end tone from the far forward neck location
Performance & Ergonomics:
The J-Style Thumper represents a player-first evolution in the McGrath range. Featuring deep, ergonomic contours and a perfectly balanced profile designed to eliminate neck dive. The sculpted heel provides effortless access to the higher register, ensuring the full 30" scale is always at your fingertips.
