A special "In-house" Custom Paris 4
January 19, 2009

Here's a fun bass with a lot going on:

This 4-string Paris was custom-made for AndE, our production manager and chief woodworker. As is often true of our personal guitars, this one has a lot of special features.

Like what?

-35" scale ebony fingerboard with pearl dots -Aguilar 3-band EQ with switchable mid frequencies (on a push/pull mid pot) -Active/passive switch (on a push/pull volume knob) -Built-in tuner (on a push/pull Treble pot) -LED tuner display inside the soundhole! -5A English Sycamore top -Matching headpiece

This bass kills, especially for slap, which is AndE's specialty. The 35" scale gives the low E some real kick.

Just another example of how many special options (really - 3 push/pull pots, a tuner, etc. etc.) can be snuck into a clean-looking and classy bass.
