The Milanese is currently my most popular model. There is something about the sound, feel, and look that really appeals to bassists. The instrument shown here has a pine top and a flat, plain maple back. It has a fantastic feel under both hands and a wonderfully "cushiony" sound.
"The description I have been using is that #20 sounds like dark chocolate tastes! The consistency of the tone and the timbre in all registers and across the strings is amazing. I have never encountered anything like this in a new instrument and certainly not in this price range."
