BassLine Re:belle 5

Master lutier Rüdiger Ziesemann  has been handcrafted  first basses since  1982 his apprenticeship as a carpenter in his parents house in Kempen on the Lower Rhine and in 1993 he founded Customshop BassLine in Krefeld, Germany and he only focus in handcrafted bass instrument.

The BassLine Re:belle series 5 strings is truly a very  special feature,   multiscale version of with a complex process,  embedded the quilted maple top in the body. We also made the pickguard from the same piece, which applied to the body. Only the thickness of the milling path flashes out as a narrow border of the pickguard and traces it. The top wood inlay also enables a natural 3mm strong binding and the color accentuation of the armrest shaping. The three-dimensional effect was worked out with a high-gloss finish.
