Simply Wow

I have owned, gigged & recorded with numerous basses over the past 28 years from low end models to €7k customs, but this is by far Germanys best kept secret... just outstanding. The build quality, finish and fret work is really top drawer... no dead spots or buzzing whatsoever with really nice action. Preamp is silent in all settings. Neck is much slimmer than a Fender or Stingray & is smooth & fast to play.. especially nice for short fingers . The zero fret is a joy. Very comfortable to play for pick fingers or slap & is perfectly welighted & balanced. The beafy Delano pickups combined with the high end Glokenklang preamp enables you to dial in absolutely any tone conceivable. Bridge is solid & very well made & is fully adjustable including string spacing. The low B is really tight and punchy with no floppyness... the best I have every played. To anyone considering a Stingray, Warwick or Sadowsky, this Human bass can create the sound of all three & more. The price point is exceptionally good and so it might get missed by those looking for a high end perfornance bass. Only problem is the lead time is relatively long but well worth the wait. My dream bass, I found it. Highly recommended.
