***SOLD***Ristola Instruments Exotic 5
Another first for LAG, this time a bass from Brian Ristola.
I have known Brian since he was knee high to......well, actually he
has always been 6'5" to me.
He used to run my website - hey, he designed it !
And, he has been building basses a few years now.
Not a first for LAG - I am truly knocked out my first experience with
a "new" builder's work.
Kevin Robertson , Alex Watson, Pete Skjold , now Brian Ristola.
Where does this talent come from ?
This bass plays itself - effortless all over the neck.
Right now the action is nice and low, how I like it.
The neck is 35" scale, Maple with Bubinga runners and a Pau Ferro
fretboard.
The body is actually Ash painted gloss piano black , nicely
contrasting the striking Myrtle top.
The pickups are by Bartolini , and the preamp is the highly versatile
Audere 4 band.
Right to left the controls are
Volume
Blend
Treble
Concentric hi / low Mids
Bass
Active / passive toggle
Z Mode toggle
