Alusonic is an Italian brand that primarily manufactures guitars and basses incorporating aluminum.
Since many elements are designed and manufactured in-house, all of their products are pure, highly consistent, and perfectly balanced at a high level.
The J-Special model features a body shape that stylishly adapts traditional style.
This Supreme model, among others, is the top of the line.
The body is made of aluminum alloy and is heavily chambered.
The slightly thin body thickness, combined with the chambered design, produces a powerful response that bounces back the strings when they are plucked, making it one of this model's most unique features.
This is a major benefit, as it produces an open sound that is not overly dark, despite having 24 frets.
The aluminum body emphasizes a more attacking and lighter nuance than wooden-bodied models.
Even so, the sound maintains the well-balanced characteristics of a bass, demonstrating the brand's high level of design expertise.
This model features a metallic blue finish on the body, pickguard, and fingerboard.
The frets, bridge, and knobs are all gold, creating an appealing, unified look.
The original alnico and neodymium hybrid pickups are a major highlight.
They have a sense of speed yet retain a sufficient low end.
The preamp with a 3-band EQ is also original.
Boosting the preamp adds volume without creating a muddy sound, and even extreme settings (such as all the way up) produce a great sound.
It really feels like this bass, this pickup, and this preamp are a perfect match, and the excellent compatibility is possible only because they were developed specifically for this instrument.
One of the greatest attractions of the Alusonic is its light playing feel yet incredibly powerful sound.
High quality in all aspects: looks, sound, weight, and playability.
This is the ultimate modern bass, so be sure to give it a try.
