Re: the latest from BassLab...

[Monica <coolintensity@yahoo.com>]

Yes definitely high end - but that's because of the complex technologies involved

and the fact that BassLab is still a small company who entirely hand builds

with no automation. However...if current talks going on with a major music tech co.

lead to collaboration, there will be a special automation plant built to mass produce

them - this requires a special mold-making process as they are made of synthetic

chemical composites and not wood - because wood by comparison has such

irregular organic densities which lead to areas of tone deadening and distortion.

The synthetics can be precisely mixed for perfect acoustics and even tone

engineering based on ratios of materials used. Much more sophisticated process.

And with the synthetics the instrument bodies are inflexible to climate changes

and in fact never have to be set up! And being hollow they are lightweight - about

7-9 lbs. each - so much less back strain in prolonged stage or studio use.

The effort right now is to get the new tech to the mass market and so if the

facility is built the price will become much more accessible - probably about $2000

for the popular line. Then the usual pro elite line and its usual higher end because

it will remain custom orders with special mods and entirely handcrafted.

It's funny. With synthesis I'm always sniff'n around
for some new sound or cool way of controlling it.
Around 91 I purchased my Steinberger and I swear I
rarely ever get the urge to buy another or replace it.
Same with my Steinberger Q Bass.
