I have to say at first i was skeptical, the 050’s striking design and visual aesthetics are very different from that of traditional instruments, but then I plugged it in. I have never heard an instrument that is so in tune and sonically balanced. Because of the methods of construction and materials used the instrument is extremely resilient to temperature and humidity changes, it also resonates like nothing I have ever heard. The natural tone of the 050 has this unwavering low end and super punchy mids which has been a real game changer for our live shows, our sound guy loves this bass because he doesn’t have to do anything. The best part is you get all this in a 34” scale package!
