Come promesso le novità non mancano. Dopo le nuove finiture disponibili è la volta della nuova linea di bassi Supertone disponibile a 4 o 5 corde nata in stretta collaborazione con uno dei più talentuosi bassisti italiani, Lello Somma. Due le versioni, la standard e la “Lello Somma signature”, un basso che racchiude in se di base tre suoni famosi accuratamente riprodotti ma le sfumature in mezzo sono davvero tante. Un anno e mezzo di lavoro tra prototipizzazione e customizzazione ma vi assicuro che vale la pena provarlo, tutto questo sempre al Guitar Show di Padova il prossimo 20 maggio! Non mancate!!!
