This is a particularly wellbalanced design, thanks to its short scale length and the resulting proportions. Adopting the persona of a Les Paul-style bass, it offers a far more conventional look with two large f-holes, gold-plated hardware and a deep and luxurious transparent brown finish, which reminds us of the Gretsch Country Gentleman. Fully-bound all round (including the f-holes) this also benefits from an arched back and front and a classic slimline feel about it – it’s genuinely slender from front to back.
