One of our main goals was to create instruments that anyone who doesn't really know how to play a guitar, could still without any effort make sound beautiful, natural and with character.
Our very first sampled guitar was PRS and of course it couldn't be left alone for a long time. Already at the very beginning of the recording process of PRS, we thought about instruments with which, in the future, it would be possible to form a company for it. The strategy was to bring together guitars that would be quite different from each other and find their similarities, combine them into one whole: something thoughtful, intimate and mysterious, but at the same time confident and daring. This time our choice fell on Fender Jazz Bass 1971.
We found the instrument by a mere accident. For almost 20 years it had been laying in a Palace of Culture in a small Belarusian town literally just accumulating dust and no one was playing it.
This bass was recorded in a completely different way from our other guitar. While it has only 2 sound lines, it's not that simple.
The first line is a clean one - from the guitar straight to the tube preamp and compressor and then to the tube equalizer and 2 consecutive Soviet transformers. Having gone through this rich chain, it seemed as if the sound had travelled to us from the 70s, becoming juicy, dense, but at the same time gentle.
In the second line we used specially selected bass and guitar pedals on the sound. If at this point you have a question: 'what's new and unusual could be found in a bass guitar?', the answer is the unique tenderness of this instrument, which we managed to achieve.
