Review

Karl Hoyt - The "Jenny"

Reviewer: Joe Payne
Amplifier Used: vary
  • Vintage: 2000
  • Number of Strings: 4
    • Double bass strings compatible
  • Bowable: Yes
  • Thumb Reference: D
  • Position Markers: Yes
  • Balance While Playing: ******** (8/10)

Karl makes a great bass, especially for the money. He made this custom for me out of Zebrawood with a Purpleheart fingerboard. The electronics were Bartolini 18volt with 3 band eq, 3 way mid shift, and piezo magnetic blend. It bows well and has a very good real doublebass tone. With the magnetic pickup on, it whines like a big electric fretless. The action is better than some electric basses Ive played. Unreal.Karl used the K&K bass max piezo on this one with Picato Innnovater strings.
