The five-string bass is crafted with an alder body and a maple neck, but the craftsmanship really shines in its top and fingerboard. Costanzo used Birdseye maple and walnut to create a pattern that flows through both, even floating over the pickup covers.<\/p>\n<p>The pickups and preamp are both made by Costanzo. The knobs control volume, pickup blend, and a three-band EQ. Other features include a solid brass bridge and Hipshot tuners. <\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Gaetano-Costanzo-Lolly-Biscotto-Bass-Body-2.jpeg?fit=758%2C505&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Gaetano-Costanzo-Lolly-Biscotto-Bass-Full.jpg?fit=1000%2C667&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Gaetano-Costanzo-Lolly-Biscotto-Bass-Headstock-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we\u2019re checking out the Lolly Biscotto by Italian luthier Gaetano Costanzo.
