SOLD BSX Allegro - Better than New **

I bought this last year as a backup to my carved DB.

I have just bought another carved DB which will fill that position so this is available.

** I have made two improvements which dramatically improved both the playability and sound when compared to new.

1. I had my luthier dress the fingerboard and reshape the nut. Great Improvement !!

2. I changed the 1/2 size strings it comes with to 3/4 size strings (the playing lenth is app 41 inches and the 1/2 size strings result in too much tension and a more Fretless BG type sound.

The bass, bag, and stand are all in MINT CONDITION.

I have several videos demonstrating the sound of this bass. One video I made with my Ischell Contact Mic which works because this is a hollow-body acoustic instrument. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AN EUB THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DB YOU PROBABLY WON'T GET CLOSER THAN THIS.

PS The ISCHEL MIC IS NOT INCLUDED. The bass has a built-in multi-sensor bridge piezo and an active 3 band EQ pre-amp.



And here is a video of my using foam to mute the strings to get a more DB type 'Thump'.

 

Sorry for the confusion.

First, it is a D Neck.

YES, there is a very effective pickup (and three-band EQ) on the bass. The Ischell Mic IN NOT INCLUDED but was posted to show one of the possibilities since this is a hollow-body acoustic intrument.

The other video (showing the foam mute) is using the built in pickup.

Here are some details on the built in piezos and pre-amp (from the BSXbass website):

The multi-sensor piezo bridge system coupled with active circuit Bartolini electronics sounds extremely realistic both pizzicato and bowed. BSX Allegro Series feature a 3 band EQ, on-board preamp, and an individual volume control for each string. Classical violin colors with satin finish is standard. Length 56”, Width 11 1/2” (lower bout) Weight approx. 15lb.
