This 2017 Duesenberg D-Bass 5-String is in very good overall condition, with some finish swirl that doesn't show up in photos and some dents and dings (see photos). It includes its original hardshell case.
The Art Deco Powerhouse: Duesenberg D-Bass 5-String in Sonoma Red
Elevate your low-end with the Duesenberg D-Bass 5-String bass, a masterclass in German engineering and Art Deco aesthetics. Draped in the stunning Sonoma Red finish, this bass isn't just a visual statement; it is a precision-tuned frequency machine designed for the player who demands both vintage character and modern versatility.
Sonic Versatility via the Mid-Shift
The heart of the D-Bass lies in its hidden complexity. While it features a streamlined passive control layout, the "Mid-Shift" potentiometer allows you to sculpt your midrange frequencies on the fly. Whether you need a thick, driving rock tone or a scooped, percussive slap sound, the D-Bass delivers without the need for an onboard preamp that drains your soul (or your batteries).
Precision Build & Feel
Constructed with a solid American Alder body and a bolt-on 1-piece Maple neck, the D-Bass provides a snappy response with immense sustain. The 5-string configuration offers a tight, focused B-string that maintains clarity even in the lowest registers.
