Tired of thin, weedly cajon tones that disappear into a mix? Sweetwater has the lowdown on the Meinl Jumbo Backbeat Bass Cajon, a special cajon that'll help your palm strikes and bass tones stand out. Based on the renowned Backbeat Cajon, this jumbo sub cajon's larger body, wood construction, and built-in bass port work together to deliver a warm, fat sound that's big on punch and rich in earthy harmonics. Inside, adjustable micro-coiled steel strings give the Jumbo Backbeat Bass Cajon a cutting snare tone for cafe/club appearances or a woodier, boxier Peruvian sound for traditional percussion settings. The port doubles as a convenient option for stage miking when you really want to capture the "chuff" of those heart-stopping bass notes. Take it from Sweetwater percussionists: if you're searching for an affordable cajon that'll give you more than enough low end for contemporary kick-and-snare cajon effects, the Meinl Jumbo Backbeat Bass Cajon is where it's at.
