new Biarnel Headless bass

[Invisible]

Hi, do you remember this? http://www.biarnel.com/liuteria/akme/akmeseries.html

I spoke about it long time ago http://www.talkbass.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-411995.html
I'm the bass player in the italian alternative dark band "Demetra Sine Die" Link Removed (there are two new songs on it, go and listen! )

three months ago I decided to have a new collaboration with italian luthier Biarnel, basing on his "Scorcio" headless bass. I asked him the permission to restyle it by myself (I'm an architect and architecture and design university teacher) and this is the result http://www.biarnel.com/liuteria/scorcio/scorciob1.html
what do you think?

Absolutely mind blowing. I love it.

 

[Biarnel]

Thank you! I'm glad to see my new Scorcio here in these pages.

Feel free to ask me anything, anytime.

I never heard about you before but the instruments you make are tasty.
Do you wind these pickups yourself? How do they sound like?

beautiful bass, really nice the way the light and dark wood show and blend - i went and looked at the web page as well and there are some really nice basses there - i liked the akme last two fretless basses and the all black 6 string

Well, I'm actually quite italy-based
Just a few instruments sold in other countries, a Stìco (Invalid Link Removed) in England and an Akmè VK (http://www.biarnel.com/liuteria/akme/akmeseries.html) in norway.


Yes, I personally wind my pickups. They are noise canceling, with AlNiCo V magnets.
Try to listen to the samples you can find in the website, I really can't describe a sound with words

That all black 6 stringer is SICK! Beautiful work

Biarnel is a great Italian luthier!

The sexy Akmè VK is quite different.. 36" super long scale, tonal chambers, on board Roland GK hexaphonic and dual output.

Just to go back in topic, the total black satin finish ia available on my whole production

Always had a soft spot for headless basses, it looks great

 

[bongomania]

I like it! Very nice work.

 

[randy clere]

Very elegant and understated... Flat out gorgeous!! Nice work, man!

 

[Biarnel]

Thank you all for the kind comments.
Feel free to ask me anything, and, by the way:

Hi guys, yesterday I went to Biarnel lab and took my new bass. really amazing! I'm really satisfied. it's like I had it in my mind. this evening first meeting with my band after a little easter holiday, I'll hope they'll like it as they liked Akmé model. My G&L2500 is going to be retired...

 

[duckbutter]

I know this is a very old discussion, but for those still wondering the Scorcio line is made of excellent lightweight basses and still being produced by Biarnel with many customization options.
This is mine, realized the past year and here being test in a funk-rock context
