NOTE: This is a sub-contra bass! Sound quality will be affected by the device(s) used to listen. Even high-quality computer speakers may not correctly output the lowest notes of this bass guitar. Ideally, the audio should be played through a bass amp with at least a 12" speaker and 200 watts, or on computer speakers that can play frequencies below 20Hz. If your device has an equalizer, set it to a completely flat frequency response.

Sound samples recorded direct from the bass only. The bass was strung with new Kalium strings, gauge 0.182" - 0.055" (Balanced Set).
