Bill Moll Express 18 Archtop Bass Guitar
To the Vault
It is a privilege to be able to experience and offer such a wonderful and unique bass.
Let me begin by stating that for the past several years Bill Moll had made a name for himself in the world of high end Archtop Jazz Guitars.
This bass incorporates and translates that experience into the world of bass.
This bass is a full 18 across the lower bout, and a full 5 deep.
Acoustically, this bass is there. ( It is rare to be able to say this about an acoustic bass guitar. )
Building upon the fine acoustic tone, Bill has added a pickguard mounted floating pickup plus a piezo pickup built into the bridge.
With a mono jack cable out, you get the magnetic signal only use a stereo cable and you get both the magnetic and piezo pickups combined.
The tone is big and woody.
The bass is dynamic and responsive to the touch.
It is alive.
This bass is made with ALL solid wood construction.
The top , back, and sides are Flamed Maple. The top is carved Spruce.
The bound fingerboard , tailpiece , and pickguard are all Ebony.
The neck is 34 scale, 24 frets and made of Flame Maple.
