Best of luck. |

Note the wood color is more like the top photo (daylight).
the chambered body is a little bit thicker than the typical solid bass  |

Let me try and record a few samples. The East AC dual filters give it an incredible (and almost maddening) range of tone. You can go from hard treble with a deep bottom to a woody mid with a smooooth finish. and on and on and on.
Shift the filter range and add/cut.

recorded to garage band. four different eq settings on the bass only. The ACG dual filter eq is wonderful and a bit insane at the same time.
i didnt scratch the surface of eq range.
btw the bass is strung with Labella tapes. Trying to get a set of jazz flats on it. |
