The feature bass this week boasts a handmade bridge out of brass!<\/p>\n

Builder Angelos from HMG<\/a> writes:<\/p>\n

Wood carving is a special art & in this unique instrument is the main element. The “teacher” gave us a hand in the inner designs and we cut the big parts to create this impressive body made of solid red mahogany, that we called Sculpture bass!<\/p>\n

The specificity of the draft body, “forced” us to build from scratch a completely original handmade bridge, made of pure brass, fully adjustable with brass saddles. The neck is also constructed from solid mahogany with double action rod and a fingerboard made from wenge, a wood that we fanatically worship! The inlay marks \u2013double twirls\u2013 cut with a laser and is also completely prototypes, made from scratch by Stamatis hands. Continuing diversification, we did the headstock inverted, with tuning machimes by Gotoh<\/a>, Res-O-lite, made of aircraft aluminum alloy, just 64 grams!<\/p>\n

In electronics we choose the minimal way. A Seymour Duncan Basslines<\/a> passive with direct connection to the output and that\u2019s all! We have choosen La Bella strings, the Slappers and we made the right choice!<\/p>\n

Playing with this unique instrument, is easy, soft and produces rich sound -because of mahogany and its plan- even if you use it acoustic! With the power of Basslines easily covers wide range of styles and the feeling is special, unique!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
