Fretted stainless steel or EVO Gold

For fretted bass we use 18% Nickel-Silver (hard) frets as a standard. For exceptional comfort and feel we can install a stainless steel frets in very small size . Working with stainless steel frets in this size requires additional precision and time, stainless steel also consumes the tools very fast.

Invisible magnetic system

Puristic form is what we love! Making a magnetic pickup that won’t affect the pure, minimalistic lines of instrument  was our goal for many years. Finaly we came out with a solution allowing us to offer such feature. The magnetic pickup is installed from back of the body, reaching the strings vidbration through a fingerboard. Wood is magnetically transparent material so luckily it doesn’t affect the sound and the pickup magnetic field can easily reach the string vibrations.

Option price: €400   /   $440

Piezo – magnetic blender

To save some costs a magnetic / piezo pickups can be wired to a switch that allows to sellect an operaton mode. In this case those systems can work only separately – piezo or magnetic. Blender is an active unit that allows signals with different impedance work toghether so the signal from piezo system can be blended with magnetic. In bass with blender you can for example use magnetic pickup and add a bit of caoustic flavour or punch to the sound or use both signals in their full possibilities at once.  Price contains a unit, installaton and knobs.

Option price:  €200   /  $220

Body chambering

Chambering provides singificant weight saving and gives more acoustic sound character,  especialy the „big” chamber that runs through the center axis of body cutting direct path for waves going from neck to bridge. Chambering also allows us to incorporate a classical style f-hole into design.

Option price:  €350  /  $380

Layer of stone on carved top

We love to use some…different approach to make our instruments look exceptionally. One of the exaples  is a stone top – a thin layer of natural Slate is applied  on already carved wooden top. It is quite hard to make procedure but giving proper care and patience to application it can pay out with great colour pattern and structure perfectly fits the top curvature . Since the layer is very thin it doesn’t increase the weight of instrument .

Option price:  €600  / $660

Onboard EQ system

Simple and pure form of our design is what we like, so mostly our basses are wired as simple Volume and Tone setup (to be honest it is sometimes an internal fight with feelings to drill the pot holes ruining the perfect curvature of instrument 😉 ) But we know the basses should be perfectly prepared to fulfill the needs of musicans. If there’s a need we can install an EQ unit (2 or 3-band, parametric, or even a MIDI output preamp)  upon request. We work with best preamp builders from Europe and USA (Glockenklang, Delano, Richter, Noll, East, Bartolini, Aguilar and more) so if you have your favourite unit it is no problem to use it in your custom Stradi bass.

Price per request

Other high grade wood top

Since we make up to 20 pieces of instruments per year we can choose really special wood pieces for our builds. Some pieces have their own story, some are reclaimed and smoe of them are found in really strange places or simply rescued from being a firewood.  We also work with some of the best tonewood supplies from all over the world so if you have a special request or simply like the appearance of specified woods just contact us and we will run thru our stock or find a proper supply to build your dream bass.

Gloss finish

Our instruments are mostly finished with thin layers of satin / matt polyurethane finishes or hard oil-wax for most natural look and feel, good protection and flexibility. We know that some players are very  attached to a gloss finish on their instruments so we can make it on special request. Since this is not our standard method of work and to be done well in matter of layer thickenss and appearance it requires a lot of attention and time.
