Custom made fretless

Given to me by my father in 2011, who had it since 1993, I have a custom made fretless version with a single coil pickup at the bridge. Astounding instrument which features a fast neck, precise sounding pickups and fantastic electronics. An awesome build quality by a fantastic Venetian artisan guarantees the best playability. Probably the best bass in the world.
