Electric Upright Bass
With its sweet sound, great look, and light, portable design, the Palatino
Electric Upright Bass is the answer to every bass player's prayer. The VE-500
has a chambered body of select spruce and a vintage sunburst finish. The slim,
maple neck and curved ebony fingerboard emulate an acoustic upright bass. The
adjustable maple bridge rests on the Piezo transducer pickup, giving the VE-500
its large, booming
tone.
The four geared tuners with metal buttons offer easy, accurate tuning. The black
finished metal tailpiece is sturdy and practical. The lightweight endpin offers
an infinite range of adjustment with a positive locking mechanism.
The VE-500 is absolutely versatile with its active tone and volume controls and
a headphone jack with preamp. A rugged combination leather/plastic carrying bag
with backpack straps is also included.
The low, effortless action will appeal especially to fretted electric bass
players making the transition to an upright instrument. The big tone, which is
just like an amplified acoustic bass, will please professionals looking for a
bass they can travel with.
