Fluidity Gen2

 

Fluidity is one of my early single cut designs that was kept as its one of the more ergonomic and smooth single cuts I have made. With a smaller body and thin D shaped neck fluidity makes for a light resonant instrument, with articulate and balanced tones. The body features completely curved, hand shaped, and blended edges which make comfortable experience under the hand and on the body. As with anything I make the basses mass is centred through the body so it wont neck or body dive.
