The Furch BC 61-SW Fretless is a premium all-solid acoustic-electric bass crafted for players who want expressive, resonant tone with the smooth feel of a fretless fingerboard. Built with an AA-grade Sitka spruce top and solid black walnut back and sides, this model combines rich low-end warmth with articulate clarity and natural sustain.
The unique soundhole placement and carefully voiced soundboard enhance projection and tonal balance, allowing each note to bloom evenly across the range. Furch’s CNR System® neck reinforcement ensures long-term stability and precise setup, while the LR Baggs Element Active System provides a natural, dynamic amplified sound that translates perfectly to live performance or studio work.
Finished in Furch’s eco-friendly Open-Pore finish, the BC 61-SW Fretless feels organic and resonant, with every detail built to perform and last.
