The L-Bow by BassLab Guitars is one of the most attention-grabbing designs in the bass world, but its extra bow in the neck is not for shock factor. This week we\u2019re checking out a recent five-string L-Bow-V that, like their other instruments, features a tuneable composite material in place of wood.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the bass, that most often generates typical \u2018love it or hate it\u2019 reactions,\u201d says BassLab\u2019s Heiko Hoepfinger. \u201cAlthough many would think, it was done for aesthetics, we can clearly say, that the bow is there to add something to the tone, that wouldn\u2019t be possible with any other shape. (Keep in mind, that both, the neck and bow are hollow!) While adding a huge low-end and also some extra \u201cmeat\u201d to all strings, it gives you the most defined and tight \u201cB\u201d, we can think of.\u201d<\/p>\n
This particular L-Bow is fitted with Alumitone Bassbar pickups with a 3-band preamp as well as five piezo pickups. A piezo preamp allows for separate volume levels for each string. Other features include FretFX fretboard LEDs, an ETS headless tuning system, and a body decal that says \u201cLiz.\u201d Hoepfinger explains that \u201cAs with all the options the customer of this bass chose: I don\u2019t know who \u2018Liz\u2019 is and have never seen or met her!\u201d<\/p>\n
