The bass was recorded via PreSonus Studio 68c card directly into the OBS software without any effects, equalization, compression, normalisation or postprocessing. This is the most clean sound I was able to get directly from the instrument.

This bass was made in Indoneia. The body is made of swamp ash with a glossy finish. There is a visual defect in the wood around the bass pot that has been repaired profesionally. The neck is flat-sawn maple with graphite reinforcement bars and with 22 frets on a maple fretboard which ahas a variable 10-13" radius. THe scale is 35". The bone nut width is approx. 46 mm. The string spacing is 19 mm an the bridge. There are Hipshot Ultralites tuners and Lakland Duall Access chromed brass bridge. The serial number is 210227134 and in was crafted in Indonesia and completed in Chicago in 2021.

The original Bartolini pickups were replaced by the Lakland LH3 humcancelling soapbars. The electronics is the original Bartolini MK1 with active-passive push put volume pot, balance pot and a 3-band EQ.

The bass is currently strung with Fender flatwounds. I found no significant dead notes on the neck. It plays homogeneously in all positions. The sound is well defined and articulated with a great B-string.
