This is a semi-hollow instrument, with an acoustic chamber under the bridge. The strings pass through the body and then over a saddle with a Piezo element. Then we added a magnetic pick-up in the bridge position that adds a new mellow tone. A very simple circuit, volume balance and tone, gives a broad spectrum of sounds, going from a dark, woody double bass sound, to a crisp biting sound. An unusual Bass response with character and originality. - 864mm. bass scale (34"). - 400mm fretboard radius (15,75"). - Thin “F resin” fretboard to give a precise attack without dead notes. - Double way working truss-rod steel bar, allows favorite neck relief adjustment. - Hardened multi laminated neck, made up with 0,8mm. thick wood plies, Maple sides. - Asymmetrical (helicoidal) neck shape for comfortable playing . - Satin finish on body and satin finish on the neck. - Tilted back headstock, one piece with the neck. "For Classic fretless tone-blooming, expressivenotes with low-end depth and midrange complexity- the Manne is a excellent performer." Bass Player, USA "..Spacious design with gloriously rich tones.."
