Basso
Profundo 4/Pinocchio 5/Kai 6
Basso
Profundo:
This is a 4 string bass with either a semi or fully hollow body.
Most 4 string basses tend to be solidbodies so I offer something
different to fill the void. Unlike most basses, the Profundo is
very lightweight and produces a warm, woody tone. Available fretted
or fretless, with or without piezo. As an early design, the Basso
Profundo remains as the flagship LGC bass.
Pinocchio:
With a body reminiscent of the Kai 6 , the solidbody Pinocchio
features a short cutaway on the treble side which allows full
access to the 24th fret. Conversely, the upper cutaway and the
tip of headstock is accentuated much like the nose of the character
it's named after - you cannot tell a lie on this bass!
Kai
6: The Kai 6 comprises of a special neck and body joint
which is both neck thru and bolt-on. Using a proprietary wedge
design the neck thru is wedged to the body in a unique interlocking
fashion yielding an instrument that exhibits charcteristics of
sound of both the neck-thru and bolt-on design. With several different
woods options, the instrument is also available with a pickup
and piezo or magnetic pickups only option.
