Improving the fluidity in the playing experience with a robust wide-range sound
This fretless bass guitar has a joint-free construction that doesn't cut the sustain of the notes and the fluidity of the player as it happens in mass production basses that have the body and the arm joined by screws. To achieve this, I built a single element made out of tree compensated wood layers that comprehend all the extension of the strings from the head to the bottom, passing the strings through the body by a hardwood bridge. To improve the playing the back of the body and the arm were carved to match the fretboard allowing reaching every note of every string.
