Duesenberg D-Bass 5: Classic construction in Art Déco style
The Duesenberg D-Bass Lake Placid Blue has a classic alder body with a vaulted top which, thanks to the elegant off-set shaping, allows unimpeded access to the high positions of the fourfold bolted Canadian maple neck. With the perfect proportions of its"D" profile, it lies comfortably in the hand, so that between the 22 frets of the rosewood fingerboard every groove comes out of your fingers. The typical Duesenberg look is further enhanced by the tasteful Art Déco elements, which give the 5-string bass an independent elegance.
The Duesenberg Toaster Bass Pickup delivers versatile vintage sounds in conjunction with the passive mid-shape tone control.
Versatile sound thanks to toaster pickup and passive switching
The Duesenberg D-Bass 5 uses a Duesenberg "toaster" humbucker in the middle position as pickup, which delivers a distinctive sound with a clear vintage character. With a firm bass foundation, pressing mids and a silky treble spectrum, the amplifier provides an assertive bass tone that lays the perfect foundation for classic styles of blues and rock. In addition, the Duesenberg D Bass is equipped with a passive mid-shape control which, in conjunction with the classic tone potentiometer, allows precise adjustment of the sound image.
