Specimen Luddite Six String Bass

The tonal circulation of Luddite Six String Bass is massive. Resembling the tonality of earlier Specimen aluminum basses, it  is in the realm of Steinway piano strings hit with a ball peen hammer. The neck is relatively wide and comfortable to play, with the shorter scale length. You have a high C and a low B. It’s very stable, with the magnificent Kahler 6 string bass vibrato. Custom machined hipshot mini tuners have been adapted to function on its oversized slotted headstock. 

There was a trend in the mid 90’s to wear a shirt, suit coat, slacks and tie all the same color. It was the thing and every sharp dude in town was going monochrome. The selection of wood species is along the same line of thinking with the Macassar Ebony over Mahogany motif flowing from tip to tail. Don't miss this chance to own a very rare sonic opportunity for both the dapper and the disheveled. Handcrafted and designed by Ian Schneller. Specimen Products in Chicago, Illinois.
