nilorius Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Hi, I bought this D'alessandro bass fretted, few years later defretted (Italian hand made) at 2003 at some music gear and instrument exhibition. I liked the sound and visual, but now i forget anything they told me about it. Could someone identify the woods, pickups and electronics. This bass has no model or serial nr., because it was built only for that exhibition. I tried to contact with the makers, but got no real answers. Any nuances would be good. Thanks.

andyaber Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I think it's a lovely looking bass with some stunning wood in the body but your original post asked for information and I have none. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) I suspect @nilorius is trying to get his rank up, but it is definitely coming across as a bit troll-ish as this is not the first thread that he's written to spark responses with multiple self-responses within an hour of posting. I would suggest you let people respond of their own free will and not relentlessly bump your posts - we are capable of reading and responding to posts if we chose to do so. I would also hazard a guess that you know full well the specs of this bass! But on the off-chance you are genuine, then I'd say the top and back woods are stabilised buckeye burl, the bridge is a Hipshot Type-B, the tuners are Hipshot Ultralite, the pre-amp is 18v (possible Bartolini, if you open the back cavity it'll be more obvious) and the pick ups are Bartolini. It appears to have a radiused ebony fretboard and perhaps an Ash body with maple mahogany neck. That's my 2 cents.

Hi Nilorius did you manage to confirm any details about this lovely bass?

You could always contact the maker and try to jog their memory. Even without a serial number they will probably remember the bass. Are you a Gary Willis fan? Two of his albums, Bent and No Sweat, are among my all time favourites. Good luck with the mission, Andy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to love Gary Willis' playing and sound, some of his stuff starts off so loose but becomes super tight. He often features some of my favourite drummers too.
