We usually test drive new specs & models against the golden ears and fingers of local F Bass artist @mitchstarkman. In his time with our prototype Deluxe Humbucking BN5, he graciously recorded three clips for us. These clips capture the three pickup modes (single-coil, series humbucking, parallel humbucking) in a musical context.⁣
⁣
All bass lines were recorded with the Deluxe in each respective pickup mode. Note that these were recorded straight to Logic with no EQ’ing nor preamp/DI. Also note that the single-coil mode may sound more similar to the humbucking than in reality as the output was matched and the strings were at 75% life, so some high end articulation may be lost. ⁣

Audio clips linked in bio. So grab your favourite headphones and enjoy A/B/C’ing!⁣

Believe it or not, this custom Deluxe BN6 plays, sets up, and sounds even better than it looks. This build was handmade with a Koa top, old growth Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard from the 1960’s, Alder body wings with a dense Northern Ash centreblock, 19mm string spacing, and a shorter 33” scale length. ⁣
