\"OJThis week we\u2019re checking out a unique acoustic bass guitar built by luthier Oliver Jaggi called the BrummBass. Jaggi, who is a third-generation Swiss craftsman, created the bass around functional design elements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BrummBass features a number of innovations that help it stand out from other acoustic bass guitars. The top plate has an ultra-low mass construction and the bridge design limits stresses which impede the movement of the top. Together these design features produce a sound with quick attack and long sustain,\u201d Jaggi writes. \u201cAnother feature is an adjustable neck joint which allows the player to dial in their preferred action settings via a keyhole in the heel. The large body (20\u2033 wide at lower bout and 27\u2033 body length) is made comfortable to play with an arm-bevel and a wedge shape that tapers from 7.5 inches down to 4 inches.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not to mention the fact that the neck is removable for transport. The BrummBass is crafted with cherry for the body sides a redwood top that was salvaged from a pipe organ. Its neck is bookmatched cherry fitted with a pau ferro fingerboard and 20 Evo Gold frets. Finally, it\u2019s fitted with a set of Dazzo pickups and Hipshot tuners. Jaggi offers the bass with several options including fretted or fretless and with or without a multi-scale neck. <\/p>\n
