Biarnel Liuteria - Stìco

Reviewer: Anonymous bassist

Primary Use: I use the Stìco mainly in gigs, recording sessions and reharsal. Every time a double bass is too big.

Amplifier Used: Mark Bass Little Mark

Vintage: 2008
Number of Strings: 4
- Double bass strings compatible
Bowable: Yes
Thumb Reference: E♭
Position Markers: Yes
Playable Seated: Yes
Balance While Playing: (9/10)
Transportability: (8/10)
Overall Rating: (10/10)

The Stìco, built in Pisa, Italy, by Biarnel Liuteria, is a joy to play. Unlike many other EUBs, it stays well balanced when you play (standing or seated) without falling on your head. The sound is very natural and groovy, with all the good harmonics an upright should have. Stìco definitely isn't a "vertical electric bass" - it's more an upright without the weignt and the feedback. You should really give it a try. Oh, and did I mention how *beautiful* it is? Best buy, at a little price.
