I love Marek’s designs, and the Black Velvet is no exception. Here are details from Marek himself:
The Symphony Black Velvet bass has puristic form, without any visible pots. The top is made of over 2000 years bog oak and it’s placed on solid european oak body, smoked ash and ash bottom enhance the elegance of this instrument.
Multipiece neck is based on thermo-stabilised flamed american cherry with elegant and very stable lamination of flamed maple core and jatoba/oak/smoked ash linings.
One piece pau ferro extended fingerboard is equipped in luminlay side line and dot side markers. Original Stradi invisible magnetic and piezo pickup system gives this bass an extraordinary sound. Small switch on backplate allows player to choose between piezo / magnetic or blended signal. Stereo output is activated when stereo jack is plugged.
Hand polished flat finish gives very smooth feel, just like a
velvet…The Black Velvet
Another amazing bass from Marek!
