The Story
This week we’re checking out a six-string Sniper Deluxe by Italy’s Capurso Guitars. The bass has a beautiful poplar burl top in a purpleburst finish that looks like a photo of a galaxy. That theme is reinforced by the alien head inlay on the multi-scale pale moon ebony fingerboard.
Capurso built the bass with a nine-piece neck of flamed maple, ash, purpleheart, and rosewood. It also has a tone block made from mahogany and purpleheart. This Sniper is completed with Nordstrand Big Single pickups, a Bartolini NTMB preamp, and a Hipshot bridge.
