L.A. Vintage Gear is proud to showcase incredible bass guitars from the estate of accomplished film and television composer Edgardo Simone. Spanning a career of decades in Hollywood, Edgardo was a longtime collaborator who orchestrated music with Danny Elfman and Steve Bartek , Oingo Boingo fame
Edgardo contributed to major films including Big Fish, Spider-Man, Men in Black, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He was also a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant, won a BMI Composition Award, and was named Distinguished Alumnus by the University of Oregon School of Music in 2007.
As a lifelong bassist, Edgardo collected instruments from many of the most respected builders in the business, including Lefay, KB, Louris, Warwick, and Spalt. Alongside these heavy hitters of the boutique world are many unique and one-of-a-kind instruments from more niche makers. These basses are built with high-grade domestic and exotic woods such as maple, walnut, and purpleheart, and feature premium finish work that looks so cool you just have to pick one up and play.
Up for sale is a Human Base ClassX 5 String Bass, a striking boutique 5-string with a futuristic design and excellent playability.
The bass features a Maple/Ash body paired with a 5 piece neck constructed from Maple and Ebony, topped with a Ebony fretboard. The combination results in a balanced, resonant instrument with strong sustain and excellent articulation across all strings.
Hardware is Gotoh and Human Base for solid tuning stability and reliable performance.
The ClassX delivers uncompromising tone and feel. It is ergonomically designed for a comfortable fit and has a voice that is well balanced with fast attack and long, full sustain.
The contoured body hugs the player, promoting correct arm and hand position similar to that of classical guitarists.
The bass is in overall excellent condition with only a couple of small blemishes (shown in photos).
