Used BilT Relevator Bass Vi Eggplant Sparkle Burst w/OHSC
Well...what can we say about this one except it HURTS (both personally and professionally) to let it go.
If you ever wanted a truly remarkable (AND WE MEAN REMARKABLE) Bass Vi, look no further than this Used BilT Relevator Vi in one of our favorite finishes aptly called Eggplant Sparkleburst.
Yes we spec'd it out and we audibly gasped when we first opened it up. It has an Alder Body, Maple Neck (with some beautiful figuring) and a bound Rosewood Fingerboard. Of course, the Mastery Bridge and Vibrato are a must (and BilT even did their own extended plate for some extra vibe). It has individual switches for each pickup as well as the plate up top for a rhythm We then asked our friends at BilT to load it up with Curtis Novak Bass Vi Pickups complete with the claws; which are actually voiced for Bass Vi and not the same pickups used in Fender Jags like the originals. All that equals Bass Vi perfection. Well...almost...we set it up with Gabriel Tenorio Pure Nickle Artist Series Bass Vi Strings (which are LIFECHANGING) and THEN we arrived at Perfection.
Unlike Most Bass Vi or Bass Vi-Type Instruments, the tension on this feels absolutely perfect. The Low E and the A feel just as fantastic as the rest of the strings unlike most other instruments of this type you see out in the wild. It comes complete with BilT G&G Hardshell Case.
