This one, I think, sounds like chocolate. <\/p>\n<p>This Manne Guitars Acoustibass Satin Special 4 is a fretless built with a sycamore body and poplar burl top in a satin finish. It\u2019s constructed by hollowing out the body first, then capping it with the top. \u201cThis type of construction gives the timbre of the instrument an acoustic characteristic,\u201d the company writes.<\/p>\n<p>Its multi-laminate neck has an asymmetrical shape for comfortable playing with a thin phenolic resin fingerboard. Manne fits the bass with a magnetic pickup in the bridge position as well as a piezoelectric pickup in the bridge for a full sonic spectrum. \u201cThe circuit, reduced to a minimum, with a volume, a balance, and a tone, offers a wide range of sounds, from metallic to nasal, to double bass.\u201d<\/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\/2021\/02\/Manne-Guitars-Acoustibass-Body-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2021\/02\/Manne-Guitars-Acoustibass-Angle-1000x667.jpg\" 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 -->\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>Sometimes you look at a bass and can just imagine how it sounds.
