Amfisound “Hellbass” 6-string bass: Sub-Octave E&A Strings, Made in Finland

I promise you that you've never experienced anything quite like this before!  Amfisound is a small workshop in Finland that makes all of their guitars and basses by hand.  The workmanship is top notch, as are the materials.  But what really sets the bass apart is the dual scale length, and the tuning options.

Essentially the concept is to have a four string bass with a 32" scale - this makes it very easy to play, and all of the notes are punchy and full sounding with the shorter scale.  Then, you have two strings that are a 36" scale.  These are designed to go all the way down to Low E and Low A - an octave below the normal E & A strings!  You can also tune them up to any other pitch you like as well.

The wait time is about 10-12 months and sells for $8000 brand new. Skip the wait and get this amazing bass now at a huge savings!

Article from Notreble:

Built by Finnish luthier Sampo Leppävuori of Amfisound, who based it after their Kuru model. 

The six-stringer – dubbed the “Hellbass” – has two personalities. The first is a gorgeous, bright red 4-string bass with a 32˝ scale. The second is a deep, dark, 36˝ scale bass with two strings tuned an octave below a standard bass’s E and A. The 32˝ scale strings are separated with a extended nut, and altogether the frets line up on all six strings.

The Hellbass is built with a through-neck of laminated maple and purple heart with swamp ash wings. The top is quilted maple with red and black high gloss finishes. Its fingerboard distinguishes the bass’s personalities with purple heart under the low E and A strings and ebony under the standard E, A, D, and G strings. Other features include a pair of Bartolini single coil pickups, a Glockenklang onboard preamp, a Hipshot bridge, Gotoh tuners, and Schaller straplocks.

While the standard tuning for the bass is Low E, Low A, E, A, D, G, you can also tune the strings up.

From the previous owner: “Just for clarification regarding the tuning, I now tune the two lower strings one step up, and I am very satisfied with the result,” he writes. “The open F♯ on the lowest string being really clear; and honestly, with my current equipment taken into account, I don’t really need to go lower than that.”

We think that’s Greg’s nice way of saying he doesn’t want to subject his audience to the brown note.
