My Patriot is the perfect choice for the bassist searching for an acoustic vibe. It changes my style and helps me comping as an upright player and soloing as an electric bassist.It’s two basses in one, perfectly balanced and super light. And I can look at him for hours…because it’s really beautiful! It’s completely made of wood, it has some Italian roots, it’s able to speak and it’s fabulous… so I called him Pinocchio…but he doesn’t lie anymore…
