The Barcelona™ Bass, beyond our OBSESSION series basses, was specifically designed for bass player Carles Benavent.

It is a semiacoustic bass with a sitka spruce top and two magnetic pickups. A beautiful mellow sound and mandolin size frets is what Carles asked for when I decided to make this bass for him.

It took lot of meetings with Carles in our shop in Barcelona in order to get that design.

With the help of Carles, I tried to design the instrument according to his previous basses and his very personal playing style, but it also had be different from what he played before now, so I blended it with my own philosophy and that bit of Neo style look.

The name Barcelona is a tribute to the town where both of us live.
