Duesenberg Starplayer Bass: Classic semi-acoustic construction for the fat sound
The construction of the Duesenberg Starplayer Bass Ice Pearl follows the classic semi-acoustic design. Accordingly, the four-string has a laminated maple back and sides, while the top is also made of laminated spruce. In combination with the shortened 30.3" scale length, the combination delivers a fat tone with a warm wooden character that lays the perfect foundation for blues and rock grooves. The solid center block, which connects back and sides, prevents the occurrence of feedback at high volumes. The elaborate pearloid mosaic of the Ice Pearl finish also provides a unique optical effect.

Duesenberg Bass-Bucker for the vintage sound
Two Duesenberg Bass-Bucker in neck and bridge position are used as pickups on the Duesenberg Starplayer Bass Ice Pearl, which perfectly capture the semi-acoustic sound of the bass. Accordingly, a warm tone with lively dynamics is available on the amplifier, which is made for authentic blues, beat and rock accompaniments with a rich bass foundation, harmonic midrange and a silky high tone spectrum. The passive circuitry with individual volume controls for each humbucker and a master-tone pot allows precise adjustment of the sound, while the bass is muted at lightning speed using the on/off slide switch during pauses.
