Capurso Guitars is a high-end brand based in Italy that produces high-quality, handmade basses.
They are known for being trusted and used by many musicians, including Gabriele Costa and Giacomo Turra. (Titles omitted)
The instruments made by builder Andrea Capurso are all traditional, experimental, and musical.
He turns brilliant concepts into instruments with solid skills.
The Spiral is based on Fender's traditional style, but with more modern development potential.
This is a 24-fret, active, modern-style bass with a JB type motif.
The body top is made of eye-catching Poplar Burl, giving it a very beautiful look.
The back is made of Light Ash and the fingerboard is made of Maple, a classic configuration.
The tuning machines and bridge are HIPSHOT.
It's the world standard.
The pickups are made by MAMA Pickups from Italy.
The acoustic part is already designed to have a well-balanced string vibration, and the PU just outputs it clearly.
It's a really beautiful design.
The mini switch is the bridge pickup tap switch.
Tapping only activates the neck coil.
This makes the sound sharper and clearer than the dual coil, which gives a powerful impression.
Those who like the texture of JB may prefer the tapped state.
The preamp is a 3-band EQ made by Xander Electronics in Italy.
The frequencies are 30Hz bass, 250Hz mid, and 10kHz treble.
The bass includes the sub-band, and the treble includes the presence component, and when boosted it becomes high-range and speedy.
The mid is a little low at 250Hz.
If you push it aggressively rather than using it in the cut direction, it has a wide range but still has a bass-like balance.
In fact, Andrea Capurso, the builder of Capurso Guitars, was heavily involved in the design of the preamp.
His works are filled with his ideas, so it's only natural that they're a good match.
It's extremely light to play, and the way it responds sensitively to small touches while producing a loud sound is a nice touch.
A multi-string, 24-fret bass can often seem too tight, but this guitar is open and spacious.
Because the neck is of extremely high quality, the string action is low so that you can feel that.
This makes for an ultra-smooth feel and a speedy sound.
A masterpiece that elevates the style of the active JB type.
Please give it a try.
