UNICORN Pure Art Sprezzatura 5-String 30" Short Scale Bass – Satin Ebony – Handmade in Sweden

This is a completely handmade, one-of-a-kind 5-string 30” short-scale boutique bass, crafted in Sweden by a single luthier.

Designed for players who value tonal purity, effortless playability and refined minimalist design.

At the heart of the instrument is a custom-designed passive pickup offering three distinct voices through an innovative 3-way switch built directly into the pickup housing. No onboard knobs, no batteries and no unnecessary circuitry – just a direct, highly responsive signal path.

Pickup Modes

• Switch LEFT – Split Coil: A modern Precision-style voice – punchy, clear and defined.

• Switch RIGHT – Humbucker: A full, warm and rounded humbucker voice with rich low-mid presence.

• Switch CENTER – Combined Voices: A balanced blend of both voices – rich, focused and phase-coherent.
