Here is a quote from a Bass Player July 2009 review
“a wonderfully warm attack and delightfully long decay.Each note’s dynamic bloom had me slowing down to savor the smoky flavor. Tweaking the lone tone knob produced a surprising variety of tonal nuance. Playing up high, blending a bit of the piezo pickup with the magnetic Citron gave notes a pleasant, airy finish… gracefully blends form and function.”
IF you are in the market for a woody, acoustic voice, this might be just the bass for you.
Joe V tells me that a new build like this is now $5,300.
Buy a new one from Joe, or buy this one.
Either way, buy one.
