The PPB-3 BK’s finishes are equally impressive. The instrument is finished with a nitrocellulose lacquer, just like the famous Fender and Gibson USA brands. Additionally, its luminescent side inlays add a touch of style while offering better visibility in low-light conditions.

The benefits of Paulownia: lightness and resonance

Paulownia, favored by renowned luthiers, is recognized for its many virtues. It is not only lightweight and visually appealing but also extremely stable and resonant. This wood offers a balanced sound spectrum, with warm mids, clear lows, and mellow highs, combining the best qualities of traditional woods.

Roasting for Enhanced Performance

The wood-toasting process further enhances this bass. It imparts an elegant patina while improving stability, sustain, clarity, and resonance. This treatment protects the instrument from temperature fluctuations, humidity, and mold, thereby extending its lifespan.
