G.E. Smith calls these the best basses for recording he's ever used. The bodies are guitar sized, actually are guitar bodies used by Valco for their models. 25.875 Scale length encourages you to play two finger notes or a few chords. Fat Valco neck pickup with a monster tone. The kind of strings you use will dramatically alter the sound and feel of the bass. The Piezo in the bridge has less output, but has a wonderful, upright sound that is good for recording. Double finger anchors work for thumb or fingerstyle playing. All in all, an awesome sounding and fun to play bass with killer vintage vibe. Includes Chipboard case. We ship within the U.S. only (Alaska and Hawaii rates higher).
