Electric Gypsy Bass

.

The Teye™ Electric Gypsy™ bass prototypes

The sound of the Teye-bass is punchy, with lots of low end; lots of clarity; lots of growl; lots of sustain, and extremely versatile. (A sleepless year of Teye’s design has left bassists open-mouthed: a ‘mere guitarist’ who designs a bass that is impossible to put down?!…)

The bass has two Nordstrand humbucking pickups; each with their own volume; then a master tone knob, and the bass version of the MOOD-knob.
At one extreme of the bass Mood™ knob (MOOD™ on 10) it emulates the punch of the first MusicMan Stig Ray bass, in the other extreme (MOOD™ on zero), you access the smoothness of a Jazz Bass. To add low end to either position, you just roll it out of its extreme corner.

Available in A-series (any version) and E-series La India (Feb 2012)
