apurso Guitars is a high brand based in Italy that manufactures handmade, high-quality basses.
In Japan, the company is known as a favorite of bassist Yoshiteru Takahashi and others.
The instruments created by builder Andrea Capurso are traditional, experimental, and musical in common.
He takes a shining concept and gives it shape in the form of an instrument with solid skills.
This model is a Georgius with a beautiful single-cut body.
The body back is made of ash with a thin rosewood board in between and poplar burl on top.
It is finished in a unique see-through color, giving it a beautiful look.
The paint is lacquer.
The neck is a 5-piece of rosewood and ash.
The fingerboard is made of smooth Indian rosewood.
Weighing 3.965 kg, it is very lightweight, but this is due to the fact that it is not chambered, but simply good quality wood.
They use ash for the necks on many of their models, but their sense of style is head and shoulders above the rest.
If you have never experienced an ash neck, I urge you to try a Capurso neck.
You will be surprised.
The pickups are dual coil type from MAMA Pickups of Italy.
The string vibration is already designed to be well balanced on the acoustic part, and the PU just outputs clear.
It is really a beautiful design.
Preamp is a 3-band EQ made by Xander Electronics of Italy.
The bridge is a Hipshot Style B Alumi, and the pegs are Ultralite, also from Hipshot.
The sound is robust, wide-range, and smooth.
The attack of the sound is very distinctive, and bassists who are good at fast passages should definitely give this a try.
European brands are gradually adopting North American nuances, and one might say that this is a form of commoditization.
Capurso, however, does not follow such a trend, but rather follows its own original line.
Capurso has created a neat balance between the two, and is highly regarded worldwide in the contemporary music scene.
Please give it a try. Recommended.
