This is a one-of-a-kind piece created by master luthier and artist Berti Giscomo of GB Liuteria. Its value goes far beyond that of a simple bass: it is, in every respect, a collector’s item. However, do not hesitate to play it: it is an instrument characterized by superior sound quality and advanced technology.

Sensus 5-String Bass

Bass weight: 4.1 kg

Body

Body made of ayous, with a figured oak top featuring a black-tinted brushed finish.

The back of the body has a handcrafted matte chameleon-green finish.

The body features a glued pickguard made of natural-colored quilted spalted maple with black resin inlay and a matte finish.

The Sensus body integrates our Multi-Pickup system, with covered pickups. The covers also serve as guides and thumb rests in all playing positions.

Neck

5-string neck made with a 9-layer lamination of maple, mahogany, sycamore, and wenge, featuring a low-profile, asymmetrical shape.

The neck is equipped with a dual-action truss rod, with access to the adjustment through the neck pickup cavity.

The neck-to-body joint uses our Ultra-Profile system, in which the neck profile continues smoothly and seamlessly into the body.

On the back of the neck, the bass features Luca Nicolasi’s signed logo. This instrument was developed in collaboration with Italian bassist Luca Nicolasi.

The neck is treated with Teflon to ensure maximum smoothness.
