Violin making in Korea and equipment in the USA. Personally I have a short-scale version, ie 32 ". It is team of two bar-type passive pickups. The bridge is home made, with 8 bridges (1 for string bass and 1 for both guitar strings). ... This particular.
UTILIZATION
The handle can prs has the width of a 6 string, and we need it to store 12 strings. Well, for the agreements must be large fingers. It is very heavy, but it is necessary to compensate for the standard weight of the head. When the sound with a 12-string bass, the sound is cataclysmic. A small BMOL, it is difficult to reproduce in the electric sound obtained by acoustic.
SOUNDS
It does not fit all the pieces, it is necessary to build the song around a bass line, but that's just the dream of every bass player right? I play on just about anything (guitar amp, bass), has sounded different on everyone. The ideal is to combine two amplifiers, guitar and bass, to highlight the potentialities of the beast. The sound is unique, no pedal can reproduce it. In addition, as one is not obliged to allow the string is an octave above (you can try the third above the fifth below, the octave plus fifth, the third and octave, etc. ... ), adding the game according the possibilities are endless. It's a nice monster.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had it 2 years now, and I played a few songs. I like playing at home and save basslines unlikely, but it appears on some recordings of the groups to which I participated. I've tried any model, since we do not find in France, but I knew I wanted one. She came directly from Bass Northwest in Seattle. No regrets. She is beautiful, I love it.
