Bassist Lucas Gonzalez Yancamil shared his incredible six-string bass made by Argentinian luthier Emiliano Bernal, and it’s a show stopper. The acoustic/electric bass was dreamed up by the bassist.
“My aim was to play a bass that has an electric feel with an acoustic flavor,” Yancamil explains. “So I told my specs to bass and guitar builder Emiliano Bernal, from Argentina. He had no trouble doing what I asked, and finally, it was born a couple of months ago. Initially, it had another tailpiece prototype which failed a couple of times and thus doing the brass tailpiece you see in the pics.”
The bass’s body is made with Indian Rosewood back and sides with a gorgeous Cypress Spruce top. Its neck is made from Beechwood and Indian Rosewood, which is topped with a Brazilian Jacarandá fingerboard. Featuring a singlecut shape, the body has a soundhole in the top as well as a larger on the upper side to better hear as you play it. Yancamil and Bernal opted to fit the bass with a Mazzarino humbucker as well as the Fishman Matrix Infinity piezo and preamp system.
