VibraBass

It is a model born from the great experience of almost two decades of building the Acoustibass model, but with some fresh new developments and a more classic look.

The body is light Korina, fully chambered and topped with figured Italian poplar burl. The bass is built with our recipe of a thin resin fretboard over a maple neck with hard beech laminate core. The pickups include a magnetic element placed in the round center plate at the neck position and a custom designed high-output piezo in our latest release of the Manne Piezo Bridge with updated and improved components and design, which together now make it truly state-of-the-art.

Bass players appreciate its great performance with its acoustic voice that can be fulfilled by blending in the magnetic pick-up using a simple but elegant pan knob/pot. We are working about making it available also as a standup bass.
