This is one new monster of a bass, built by Frank Deimel who is based in Berlin Germany. This Deimel Guitar Works Firestar Bass has a mass of useful tones on hand with it's three hand wound Deimel ThunderJazz pickups, that pair well with a built in piezo disk, giving you a more and more acoustic tone as you turn the volume of the instrument down when the piezo switch is engaged. The safely and locally harvested tone woods (listed below) add to this beautiful Bass's massive presence both in sound and esthetic. This Deimel Bass is lightly finished in a Purple Matt Metallic Open Grain Finish. This is an incredibly well thought out original design and is an instrument like many in our inventory; that is hard to get your hands on especially in the United States.
Watch the great Video below to get a better idea of what this bass sounds like. (The video is of a similar Firestar, not this exact bass guitar)
