Azola's NEW Latin Bambino offers comfortable and familiar 34" scale length with authentic Ampeg Baby Bass style punchy and percussive pickup system - from $2500! (Optional darker finished body and Mahogany neck with optional mini scroll headstock and optional Ebony fingerboard shown)
LATIN BAMBINO
Azola's new Latin Bambino is ideal for the electric bass guitarist who has always lusted after a true Ampeg Baby Bass sound, but was intimidated by the upright scale length and size. Finally that percussive punch is available in a comfortable to play, convenient to transport, attractive, petite, high quality electric upright bass. Bass guitarists can easily transition to upright style playing. Upright players can adapt to familiar Fender scale length when size constraints preclude the use of a 41.5" scale length instrument.
* Comfortable and familiar 34" scale length
* Authentic Azola "Latin" pickup - magnetic diaphragm system like a 1960s Ampeg Baby Bass ... all the punch and percussiveness, but with more power and better balance.
