Gary comments: “Well, I might say this is one of the most special builds of our high end basses to date. Did you know – when we copy an old Italian bass we begin by making first a hybrid model, as a proof of concept. Then we pull out the greatest materials and lay it ALL out there. Here’s our take on an amazing Giacinto Santagiuliana who lived a rich life from 1781 to 1853 in Vicenza of Northern Italy.”
