5 STRINGS, the bass has a stringspacing with default 18 mm but can be adjusted between (centre to centre) 17 -19 mm. Price 94 900 SEK (First 5 string ever made!)
Coming in early spring Of 2025 is the new SPREZZATURA model with a new pickup design never seen before. It has a small switch built into the pickup with 3 options:
1. Switch to the right give you the normal serial humbucker found on the standard Pure Art model.
2. To the left (neck), gives you a new designed P-vintage style single coil pickup, with lots of dynamics and a modern approach for the working bassist.
3. Both pickups together for a "unique powerful sound"
The 5 string has a EBONY top and mathing headstock, presentation video of last years 6 string ->
26 frets with cutaway for easy access. From the shop at Unicorn (February 19th 2025) ---->
Below are 3 top pics of the "Ebony fretted 6" from last year and the last 6 pics of the fretless prototype from 2023. All details are the same except the totally new "SPREZZATURA" pickup and a Mahogany body instead of Alder.
The concept is a collaberation between Christian Olsson and Johan Maximilian and this Bass can only be ordered through BASSTRADERSWEDEN, we will help you with all the practical aspects of payment, shipping and delivery date.
We are very proud of this piece of art and also very humble that Christian let us in and listened to all of our thoughts. Please be confident in a first class instrument that will be there for you all the way... and
SPREZZATURA is a brave new musical and versatile design with a sound that will move you.
