Variax Bass Sneak Preview PreBass... 8-12-04* **

Vettaville took some time to shoot a preview of a beta model of the Variax Bass. This means that the actual sound and look may differ from what you see and hear.

Please note that this was done with the use of a simple microphone on a simple digital camera, no plugging into a board, no high quality recording equipment. The Variax Bass is directly plugged into a Kustom Bass amp without other equipment to adjust the sound. The soundquality is further compressed to have a small videofile. This means that the sound that you hear doesn't represent the Variax Bass audio quality.
