Ulrich Bass Design is a small, handmade bass brand from Germany.
Builder Florian Hertzsch is also a violin maker.
A defining feature of this brand is how it incorporates widely cultivated classical techniques and Spanish guitar construction while achieving a refined balance as a modern bass.
I've met Florian several times in Germany, and he's a truly wonderful person.
Young, intelligent, and brimming with talent, I believe he is someone who will carry the next generation of the guitar industry.
Nicolo is the latest creation recently announced by Ulrich Bass Design.
An artistic masterpiece featuring a single pickup mounted on the bridge side.
The body employs Ash for the back and Purpleheart for the top.
It's semi-hollow, astonishingly lightweight at 3.29kg, and produces beautiful harmonics.
The neck is 3-piece Maple with a Birdseye Maple fingerboard.
It features an ultra-deep joint where the neck is set deep into the body.
It's a set neck, beautifully joined.
It features a Harry Haeussel Bassbar pickup and a Noll preamp.
Controls include volume, middle, and treble/bass.
A push-pull switch on the volume knob bypasses the preamp for passive operation.
The tuners are Schaller.
When you pick it up, you'll immediately appreciate its remarkably well-balanced design.
It clearly reflects the brand's commitment to practicality as much as aesthetic beauty.
It feels light in the hands and produces a crisp, singing tone.
Adjusting the EQ reveals its many faces: deeper, louder, more aggressive.
Its simplicity is precisely why it's so appealing—how it transforms into diverse characters based on your playing style and EQ settings is its charm and personality.
This masterpiece truly conveys the pure joy of playing bass itself to the player.
Its beautiful looks might be misleading, but this bass was never made to be admired; it was crafted as an instrument to be played.
