\"Emiliano<\/p>\n

Bassist Lucas Gonzalez Yancamil<\/strong> shared his incredible six-string bass made by Argentinian luthier Emiliano Bernal, and it\u2019s a show stopper. The acoustic\/electric bass was dreamed up by the bassist. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy aim was to play a bass that has an electric feel with an acoustic flavor,\u201d Yancamil explains. \u201cSo 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bass\u2019s 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 Jacarand\u00e1 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. <\/p>\n
