Description & Condition
Description & Condition
Swan Custom Basses is a bass brand based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The quality of their basses is highly regarded especially in North and South America, and they are expanding their presence in other regions as well.
This is the Alpha Classic model, which incorporates classic elements.
The body is made of Ash.
It is a very expensive wood these days, so it may be a luxury to use it as a filler.
The neck is made of quarter-sawn Hard Maple in 3P.
The method of making the neck by pasting multiple pieces of wood together is intended to reduce left-right differences and individual differences, and to obtain a higher degree of stability.
The fingerboard is made of Birdseye Maple, a traditional wood composition.
The PU is a Triple Agent from Lake Pickups of Argentina.
This can be switched between Single Coil, Fat Humbucker, and Modern Humbucker by a switch.
The preamp is a Mike Pope Preamp.
It has a 4-band EQ.
Controls are volume/tone, balancer, bass/treble, low mid, high mid, PU switch sw x2, and preamp bypass switch.
The back cover is held on by a magnet and can be removed without tools.
As with sound and playability, this kind of usability is felt everywhere.
The unique round body design is eye-catching, but it provides very good balance whether standing or sitting.
The quality of the neck and fingerboard is very high, and pure string vibration can be obtained even when the string height is lowered.
There is a sense of security in the high quality of these areas.
The sound has a modern vintage feel with a smooth response and classic attack.
The smooth playability, rich overtones, and boomy sound give it a unique character, but at the same time, it has universal value.
It is a bass that you will want to play forever.
South American bass brands have long shown high potential, but have not been well accepted in the Japanese market because of their uniqueness. (The high cost of imports due to its location on the other side of the globe may be a contributing factor.)
) However, Swan has skillfully incorporated these unique characteristics into a sophisticated design that is typical of contemporary bases.
This is a new style that is neither European nor North American.
A must-try for all bassists.
