    Jerzy Drozd Barcelona VI MIDI  ***SOLD***
    Here is our 2nd such bass from Jerzy, one of two MIDI 6 string
    versions of this bass in the world.
    The Barcelona design is the result of a collaboration of two great
    artists, bassist Carles Benavent and luthier Jerzy Drozd.
    It is named after their beloved city.

    The 5 piece Maple / Wenge neck is 34" scale.
    The fretboard is Macassar Ebony.
    BTW, the fretboard on this example has NO Radius , like a true
    classical guitar.
    ( it is possible to order this bass with a 20" radius neck , like
    Jerzy's other models. )
    The body is Spanish Cedar , the top Spruce.

    This bass has more varied tones that I have ever heard in a passive
    bass.
    The two magnetic pickups are Jerzy's own split single coil design ,
    and the piezo bridge pickups are by RMC.
    Good stuff.
    Tones range from jazz guitar like to acoustic guitar/bass.
    Right now I have this bass tuned EADGCF , hence the guitar reference.
    You might prefer BEADGC tuning - no problem.
    With the string-thru body feature, a low B comes thru strong.

    You want more tone possibilities ?
    Go MIDI.
    I have a Roland VBass here.
    What a gas !
    It is possible to use the MIDI alone or combine MIDI with the
    magnetic and piezo tones.

    This example is truly a full blown version of this model.
    The inlay is called "Ray of Light".
    If this is a little rich for your blood, I understand. A standard
    Barcelona VI without MIDI.
    The Barcelona is a unique instrument.
    You have to hear and play this instrument to fully appreciate the
    possibilities.
