Tuli basses from Finland!
- Thread starter Bass Baron
- Start date
I feel GAS pains these basses are beautiful! I have a feeling Tuli basses will be huge and have a looooooong wait time in a couple of years.
Prices are up there in the Fodera class, but so is the apparent build quality. Thermo birch... Nordstrands... and a Darkglass onboard preamp, which I haven't seen before.

Heres a Darkglass Vintage Deluxe after installation. It is totaly removable and can be switched out with a B7K or Super Symmetry should the customer order those modules as well.

Finns design/make good electronic stuff, like Nokia phones.
Beautiful basses ! I saw the price of 1,600 Eur and I thought, what a price, give me two!! then I realized that was the deposit, my gas was immediately cured 
Titanium…
Well, that's one way to keep the weight down in your hardware without sacrificing hardness. A very expensive way. But still a very good one.
Seem like more than a bit of attitude and "angry young genius" on display with these folks although it may just be poor translation in places on their website. Or maybe it's just another one of those "cultural" (i.e. macho) things.
And once again there's the "tonewood" spiel…
But who knows? Maybe that process they use for that particular wood will finally and definitively substantiate a tonewood claim. Time will tell.
They certainly look nice enough and appear to be well made.
Wonder what they sound like? They don't have any clips up unfortunately.
Why do so many of these custom builders post so many pictures but so few (if any) sound clips on their websites? Especially after making all the claims they make for things like "superior" or "unrivaled" tone and sonic excellence? Is it a secret and you have to buy one to find out or something? It just seems weird to me.

Im not a genius, but I'll admit, life can make one pretty angry sometimes. All the more reason I guess to pursue ones desires.
Here is a clip from an Austrian bassist doing a review. cheers

Appreciated. And yes, life can make you angry at times. About the only thing you can control, however, is how you respond to that. Pursuing your own vision is a good way to deal with it.
Also just listened to the link you provided, and I have to say that the sound is every bit as lovely as the instrument's appearance. You certainly make a fine instrument. I wish you all the success your hard work and talent promises.

I prefer 33" scale actually. 840mm, our standard scale length is just
33 5/64". I just rounded it up to the nearest millimeter for convenience sake.
Any pick up is possible with in reason for a custom order.

Those clips are coming soon. Between the bridge piezos, the AKG microphone, the Nordstrand dual coil and neoblade combined with a chamber that is actually quite large and a very well engineered electronics package from Andreas Richter Engineering, I have yet to detect missing tonal frequency.
