AV Basses is a high-end Czech brand that gained a lot of attention when Jamiroquai bassist Paul Turner started using it.
The brand was started in the 1990s by professional bassist Ales Vychodil.
At the time, major instrument makers supplied many basses to the market, but none of them met his needs.
In order to satisfy his needs, he started making his own custom basses.
In the 2000s, he started OEM manufacturing for boutique brands in Europe and the United States, making his manufacturing skills known to the world.
We met him at Guitar Summit in Germany in 2019 and have placed several ongoing orders with him, providing us with consistent quality.
He also builds advanced basses, but this time we ordered a model that is more in line with Fender's style.
This series has been further perfected with the help of Keith Duffy (The Corrs, Maire Brennan), Paul Turner (Jamiroquai), and others.
The body is made of European alder and the fingerboard is Indian rosewood, a classic 60's configuration.
The body and neck are finished with a vintage-style lacquer.
Although it needs to be handled with care, it has a look and sound that can only be obtained with this instrument.
The pickups are Nordstrand NP5.
Tuners and bridge are made by HIPSHOT.
The circuit is passive with CTS and Switchcraft.
The low B, E, A, D, and G strings all have a smooth, extended sound.
The rich mid-range is the foundation of the P sound, which is as generous as the ocean and reassuringly supports the musician's playing.
Naturally, this is a young instrument that has just been built, so it will show a different side as you play it more and more.
