Product Overview

The McGrath P Coffee is a handcrafted, 34-inch scale, four-string bass built in San Diego for players who need familiar P-style authority with greater control on stage and in the studio. Its alder body, roasted flame maple neck, and rich Coffee finish give it a distinctive boutique character without complicating the playing experience.

Why Players Choose This Bass

The Nordstrand NP4A split-coil pickup delivers the direct, focused character that makes a P-style bass so useful across musical styles. McGrath's 18V Tilt EQ adds an intuitive way to move from deeper warmth to more forward definition, while the push/pull volume control bypasses the active preamp for passive operation. At 7.8 lb, it is a practical choice for long sets and regular sessions.

Player POV

A dependable bass should let you concentrate on the groove instead of the controls. This McGrath keeps the classic single-pickup approach, then gives working players just enough tonal flexibility to respond to different rooms, engineers, and ensembles. The stainless steel frets, reinforced roasted maple neck, and high-mass bridge reinforce its performance-first design.

Built for the Culture

Tone Culture United highlights instruments built with professional musicians in mind. The McGrath P brings independent San Diego craftsmanship to an essential working-bass format, suitable for R&B, soul, funk, rock, jazz, worship, and demanding session work.
