Bass of the Week: Gaetano Costanzo Lolly Biscotto Bass
Today we’re checking out the Lolly Biscotto by Italian luthier Gaetano Costanzo. The five-string bass is crafted with an alder body and a maple neck, but the craftsmanship really shines in its top and fingerboard. Costanzo used Birdseye maple and walnut to create a pattern that flows through both, even floating over the pickup covers.
The pickups and preamp are both made by Costanzo. The knobs control volume, pickup blend, and a three-band EQ. Other features include a solid brass bridge and Hipshot tuners.
