Finally ready (reluctantly) to give up my Azola Gypsy. I bought this new from the Azolas 20 odd years ago. It actually fulfilled its intended purpose of being a transition to upright acoustic bass. What to know about this bass:
- renowned Azola quality and sound
- adjustable neck so you can adjust the action without touching the bridge
- extremely portable -- carry it onto the plane an put it in the overhead bin; carry on your back like a backpack
- great versatility - adjustable neck and onboard EQ enable a wide range of tonality.
- includes original case, removeable bout, and "T" allen wrench; replaced the end pin assembly, which, like the original, is a camera monopod made by Manfrotti
If you play fretless electric bass and keep tinkering to get a more genuine upright sound, tinker no more. I have used this for jazz (low action); Latin and Bluegrass (high action with a mute).
Why sell such a great bass, you ask? Playing all 3/4 scale now -- acoustic upright, Eminence, and Ampeg-style baby bass. Selling the little guy to make room for the big guys.
