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.
