    ***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
