Unique Pocket Bass
This short scale bass is very unique. Plays and sounds great, I have the action set a little high. It has a magnetic valco style humbucker and a piëzo at the bridge which provides a very unique tone. I primarily play on the humbucker, which is very full, fat and round but set up with piccolo strings it provides a very bright mid range sound. Like my Supro, I also have it stung with D'Addario Electric Bass XL Nickel Wound Piccolo Bass strings, .020 - .052, EXL280.
