The best and most detailed bass we have ever created! If you like the sound of The Beatles bass, this is the right bass for you! We used our vintage 60’s RFT 4053 tube mic preamp and a direct signal to deliver this amazing bass.
This bass guitar actually surpasses the Hofner sound thanks to its special Toaster pickups, which have excellent attack and clarity, so you will hear this bass even in small speakers.
Klira was a German manufacturer of string instruments from 1887 to 1982. In the 1960s, Klira was one of the leading German guitar manufacturers along with its competitors. Klira also produced electric bass guitars, mainly copies of the 500/1 model, also known as The Beatles Bass. In the sixties, Klira was able to achieve its greatest sales success due to the increased demand for electric bass guitars and the expansion of the export business.
We recorded this “pearl of bass guitars” and skillfully programmed it into the perfect library. The real strength of this bass guitar is its playability. No machine gun effect thanks to the multi-circle repeats. The typical “Beatles Bass Feel” can be felt through the various articulations. The analog sound gives this bass guitar the character and the necessary nuance for realistic performance. This vintage bass guitar is a versatile weapon suitable for modern musical styles.
