Unicorn Pure Art Sprezzatura – Handmade Custom 5-String Short Scale Bass (30”)

This is a completely handmade, one-of-a-kind 30” short scale boutique-level bass, crafted in Sweden for players who value tone purity, simplicity, and refined design.

Built entirely by a single luthier - not factory produced.

At the heart of the instrument is a custom-designed single pickup with an innovative 3-way switching system built directly into the pickup housing. No onboard knobs, no distractions – just pure signal integrity and immediate tonal access.

Pickup Modes

  • Switch LEFT (Split coil): Classic modern Precision-style tone – punchy, clear, and defined
  • Switch RIGHT (Humbucker): Fat humbucker character – think Jazz Bass influence, but fuller, warmer and rounder
  • Switch CENTER (Both pickups) : A perfectly balanced blend of both voices – rich, focused and phase-coherent

Electronics

  • Fully passive signal path
  • Passive custom pickup
  • Passive PureArt ToneBox included (external)
  • No batteries, no active circuitry
  • Direct high-quality wiring straight to the output jack for maximum signal integrity
  • Extremely responsive to playing dynamics and touch
