Here for sale we have a Regal RD-05 electro-acoustic guitar in a Sunburst finish. This guitar features a Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides, a Mahogany neck topped with a 23 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome DJ Auden 18:1 sealed tuning machines are fitted, along with Spun 10.5" Aluminum Con. This guitar is equipped with a lipstick pickup, this is wired to a master volume and tone.
The gloss Mahogany neck sits comfortably in the hand, with the ‘C’ profile feeling chunky without being cumbersome, offering a dependable grip whilst also providing a smooth and articulate playing experience. The Rosewood fingerboard feels pleasant under the fingers, whilst the 14” radius allows for ease of different techniques such as slap bass or chordal playing. The hollow body construction also makes longer durations of playing a comfortable experience.
The tone of this bass is very punchy and focused, with great projection and a solid midrange that will cut through easily in a mix. It responds well to touch dynamics and articulates well, offering a rootsy tone that would be a fine addition to any bassist’s arsenal. With its hollow body, metal cone, and lipstick pickup, this bass really lends itself to grassroots blues. A very unique and exciting instrument that is sure to inspire.
