But at the beginning of 2017, I looked thru the internet for a 6-string bass and since I do not want a stock instrument, I visited CG\u2019s internet site and saw the LYRA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bass features an extended 35-inch scale on neck-through design. Its three-piece maple neck is matched with Alder body wings and topped with a pau ferro fingerboard. For electronics, Thorel opted for a pair of Crel DB62\u2019s matched to a Noll TCM2 preamp. It has a stacked bass and treble knob with a push\/pull function on the volume knob to toggle between active and passive operation. It\u2019s rounded out with Hipshot hardware. <\/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\/2017\/08\/CG-Lutherie-Lyra-Bass-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\/2017\/08\/CG-Lutherie-Lyra-Bass-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\/2017\/08\/CG-Lutherie-Lyra-Bass-Body-Angle-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\/2017\/08\/CG-Lutherie-Lyra-Bass-Back-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\/2017\/08\/CG-Lutherie-Lyra-Bass-Body-Back-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 --><\/p>\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>Our friend S\u00e9bastien Thorel sent us pictures a couple of gorgeous basses to check out, including this six-string Lyra by CG Lutherie. \u201cI first met CG at a bass day in Annecy (a French town\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1754,"template":"","meta":[],"builder":[],"class_list":["post-506","bass","type-bass","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassoftheweek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/bass\/506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassoftheweek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/bass"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassoftheweek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/bass"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bassoftheweek.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bassoftheweek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"builder","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bassoftheweek.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fbuilder&post=506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
