Duesenberg Starplayer Bass Black Velvet

Unleash the deep, resonant vibes of the Duesenberg Starplayer Bass, designed to seamlessly blend vintage aesthetics with contemporary performance. This meticulously crafted instrument, finished in a sleek, jet black, is not only a feast for the eyes but also a powerhouse in sound production.

The Starplayer Bass features a semi-hollow body that's strategically crafted from laminated spruce for the top and flamed maple for the back and sides. This choice of woods ensures a rich, warm tone with a lively acoustic resonance, further enhanced by the center-block construction. The body shape echoes a classic silhouette but revised for a more modern playability and comfort.

At the heart of its sound are two Duesenberg BassBucker pickups, engineered for a clear, robust output that captures every nuance of your playing, whether you’re delivering deep rhythmic lines or engaging in intricate melodic runs. These pickups maintain their clarity and lush, low-end response without any unwanted muddiness, suitable for a variety of musical genres and styles.

The neck of the Starplayer Bass, carved from one piece of maple, features a rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets, adorned with signature Duesenberg inlays that guarantee smooth transitions and luxurious playability. A steel saddle bass bridge and the renowned Duesenberg Z-Tuners ensure your sound is consistently stable and intonation is precise.
