Pleeeeeaaaase strike a deal for Mark at Bassdirect to stock a few so I can pop over and try a couple![/quote] If Mark reads a certain amount of interest among the customers, everything will be easier So it's up to you bassists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 [quote name='Biarnel' post='1120457' date='Feb 8 2011, 07:11 PM']Actually, it's not That bass has deep tonal chambers, giving it a nice peculiar sound. It also has handwound low impedance pickup, for improved clarity and dynamic range. And about the fingerboard.. it's birdseye maple, quite stunning "in person" By the way, I'm the italian luthier who makes those basses [/quote] Forgive not having come across the term before, but what are 'deep tonal chambers'?

This means the body is somehow hollow in certain areas. Those chambers are quite big, not just small zones, hence the use of "deep tonal chambers". Feel free to ask if you need more infos.

BigJim Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Some people are going to shoot me, but this with fan frets, neckthough and headless will be AMAZING for me! Oh yeah, and a slightly smaller body. Please don't shoot me!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12stringbassist Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 The second bass shows what good ideas this luthier can come up with, rather than just making Fender derivatives / 'copies'. The second bass is a really lovely-looking piece of work, but I wouldn't buy a Fender derivative, myself. I just don't see the point. There are so many other ideas for body shapes out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone spots it, then posts it on some forums, and the GAS (hopefully) begins. Then, they fall in love with the Iter, or the Scorcio. Those two are BY FAR my best sellers. But everything begins with the Prassi, it's like a.. nice business card. This very thread started with the Prassi. Thank you for everything you said about my works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
