“It’s because of what lies beyond that line that we climb. And it’s the weight of its importance that determines whether or not we find the strength to overcome the obstacle. You can find yourself halfway through, uncertain which path to take, unsure of the right choice. If you’re lucky, you push forward, postponing the question, putting off the answer. But if you reach the top—if you go beyond and look back—you’ll know, without a doubt, that you answered well. And by then, the question itself will have faded from memory.This bass, if you haven’t realized, made me work harder than I expected. I don’t know why, but it happened.”… Let’s play

“I had no hesitation when I glimpsed that block of marbled ash, more unique than rare. I bought it and took it to the lab without knowing what to do with it, I just decided it would become a 5-string bass and so it was. The combination with padouk wood came naturally when the black satin finish was decided. Red and black, and I had no more doubts.”… Let’s Play

“I was joking with a friend, a colleague of mine and a luthier. He was mocking me saying that an ebony keyboard for a bass would not have been good. That the instrument’s attack would have been too “aggressive”, he used to tell me with a knowing smile. Well, “Loctite” produces a cyanoacrylate that here in Italy is called “Attack”. The name for the bass came out in that very moment. And the attack it has, well, I am hearing it now. And it is no joke. Phony.”… Let’s Play.
