The Amrita bass represents a pinnacle of technical mastery in the world of stringed instruments, brought to life by the expert hands of luthier Bruno Bacci.
This exceptional bass guitar, a culmination of a four-year intensive research and design process, features a distinctive use of twenty-year-aged woodworm timber, a material traditionally overlooked in instrument making.
Bacci’s revolutionary approach turns this unique wood into a sonic powerhouse, leveraging its natural wormholes as intricate acoustic chambers. These enhance the bass’s depth and clarity, producing a sound that blends the soulful resonance of vintage instruments with the crispness of modern technology.
Light in weight yet rich in sound, each Amrita bass is an embodiment of innovation, combining artistic craftsmanship with unparalleled acoustic engineering, marking a new era in the legacy of bass guitars.
Michael League, renowned musician and founder of Snarky Puppy, takes you on a journey through the history of Amrita.
BRUNO BACCI: “I want to make a signature bass with you so like what can we change?”
MICHAEL LEAGUE: “Nothing. It’s perfect. I think that my relationship with the instrument as its signature artist is just that I’m representing it to the world because the sound of that instrument is the sound that I like to hear from a bass. One of the beautiful things is that it’s very versatile. You can put flat ones on it and put the tone really low and it sounds really like an old P bass. You can put round wounds on it and there’s a lot of bite to the sound. The two Bacci Amrita basses that I have, they contain all of the frequencies that you want to produce as a bass player, and they don’t contain the frequencies that you don’t want to produce."
