Italy is home to many well-known brands, including Alusonic and Meridian Guitar, and is one of Europe's leading guitar brands.
This is the EGO BASS 5 from EGO Guitars, a brand based in Italy that displays outstanding style and appeals to the world.
While their guitars are well-known in Europe, their basses also boast outstanding design.
Its headless design and unique body shape are truly convincing when you play it.
The body is made of alder and the fingerboard is Richlite.
When seated, the neck naturally fits your body, and even when standing, the headless design provides a stress-free feel.
Cracks have been repaired on the top and cavity of the body. While some lines remain visible, they have been beautifully repaired to minimize their prominence.
The scale is designed to be 32 inches.
The shorter length seems to enhance the vibrant beauty of the treble strings.
And yet the bass strings are tight and powerful.
Because the bass is short, you might be concerned about the intonation of the low B string, but there's no need to worry about that.
Even with the low B string, the string vibrations resonate tightly, and the well-designed, in-tune bass tones vibrate the air.
This is not just due to the scale, but also to the overall high quality of the design.
The pickups are LACE Aluma Bass Bars, and the preamp is a Darkglass Tone Capsule.
The powerful electronics fully amplify the precise string vibrations and output them with force.
The NFC chip embedded in the joint can be scanned with a mobile device to access a web page containing images, specifications, and more.
Not only is the bass itself beautifully designed, but the accompanying management and storage are also meticulously crafted.
Some people may be put off by the headless design, but this brand has more than enough appeal to keep it confined to that framework.
We encourage you to try it out.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck is in good condition.
