Duesenberg Starplayer Bass Guitar in Black

FUNDAMENTAL BASS The Starplayer Bass builds on the overall construction of our popular Starplayer TV model. Therefore, the Starplayer Bass is made from spruce for the arched top, flamed maple for the back and bent sides and American Hardrock Maple for the neck topped off with a 12 Indian Rosewood fretboard. It comes in three special finishes. Vintage Orange, All Black and our famous, tolex-covered Outlaw finish SWITCH IT ON...OR OFF. The Starplayer Bass was designed with studio musicians in mind. The two separate volume controls for each pickup let you choose between endless blend options of both pickups. If you need to go dead silent in the studio, a small switch on the pickguard lets you switch off the bass completely without loosing your pickup blend setting. NICKEL HARDWARE MOST OF OUR HARDWARE IS NICKEL FINISHED. You will find the geometrical three steps in almost every part on our instruments, from the curves on the headstock to the shape of the output jack. When compared to regular chrome finishes, nickel has a beautiful warm and elegant sheen and ages naturally over time. It's the way things were done before chrome became the standard. If you don't want the hardware on your instrument to age, we recommend regular cleaning. Features SEMI-HOLLOW CONSTRUCTION Semi-Hollow instruments deliver a unique and open response that cannot be compared to the sound of a Solid-Body construction. Our specialised construction additionally blocks most feedback and keeps you going even on high gain levels. BASSBUCKER PICKUPS Two of our Bassbucker Pickups will give you clear and rich overtones and crisp response in any situation. Seperate volume controls for each Pickup and a master tone dial allow you to blend the pickups to your preferred setting. PLEK PROCESSED A Plek processed fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for our multi-step fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes all our instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.
