Pi'ksii is Blackfoot, for mountain blue bird, because it loves to sing. Stunning satin crackle finish I call antique dresser blue. This bass is unique, to say the least. It is cut entirely from one plank of black limba. The only seam in the wood is the backfill strip for the truss rod. The tone is punchy, wooly, mid forward, yet has good articulation and definition. Neck is slim, C-D and hand shaped to feel organic and effortless. The aesthetics are accentuated by custom matching wood covers, matching headstock, Ruthenium finish hardware, and awabi shell inlays. Nordstrand provides the P/J pup's and 2b preamp. PCB passive tone modules are also included. This bass sounds best with bright strings, steel rounds if you got 'em and played wide open w/out tone influence. Tone knobs included for those who like to fuss with them anyway. Body and headstock top finish is 2k poly. The rest is hand rubbed CA glue. Frets are Sintoms bell bronze. Controls are as follows: Vol, pan, tone, B/T stack. Vol is push/push bypass. Mini toggle is 3 way selection for passive tone contours of standard treble cut, light treble cut (mid forward) and mid cut. The action is low and fast.
