The history of Bassix - Page 3

Here is a nostalgic look at the previous models from BASSIX.......

The Bassmaster 'Ultimate' Headless Bass 3/4 scale

The 'Ultimate' Headless model stores in a squash raquet bag (supplied as standard), along with a light weight gig bag (also supplied) for when "de-rigging" is not appropriate. Very compact and "back packable" this really is the go anywhere instrument. This model folds to 670mm long and weighs approximately 5kg. 670mm x 180mm x 240mm.

'Ultimate' Folded

BASSIX HI TECH HEADED FOLDABLE BASS 3/4 scale

Foldable 3/4 scale bass with body outline

The Hi-Tech Headed has been designed for all styles including orchestral and maintains all the correct reference points for comfortable and accurate use whether seated or standing. Folding and storing into a fibre glass case that doubles as the bass's body, the instrument is very compact and no more difficult to carry than a suitcase.

Fold up headed bass

"Rigging" and "De-rigging" is simplicity itself and can be achieved in a matter of seconds before tuning. High quality components are used throughout and colour and grains are optional.

BASSIX HI-TECH R'L' DOUBLE BASS

The HI-TECH R'L' has been developed for ultimate portability without folding but still retains correct reference points for playing either seated or standing, arco or pizzicato.
Powerful Piezo sensors supply the signal directly from the integral bridge, set up with an action suited to most styles including jazz. A range of options take the bass to a highly sophisticated, dual sensing, fully active instrument able to deliver amazing power and precision.

For travelling, the lightweight fibreglass side moulding is simply removed and re-attached in an alternate position before inserting the whole assembly into the protective gig bag!
