Time be runnin’ ... X‑Mas be comin’

Over the past few days, I’ve been experimenting a bit with the camera setup and, in the process, I apparently changed the angle of the camera in an unfortunate way — sorry about that.

Aside from this fact, in this video I’m playing a PJ-5 Multiscale from the german luthier Ralf Börjes. The instrument is based on the well established P-bass concept. It’s a 5-string multiscale version with a PJ pickup configuration and an onboard pre-amp from Glockenklang (an active/passive switchable 3-band EQ with true bypass and an additional passive tone control). The pickups are crafted by Harry Haeussel and can be blended via two volume controls. In this video the P-style pickup is dominant. The sound of the bass is moderately shaped by the active electronics.

I also played this bass in some other videos - see playlist    • Boerjes PJ-5 Multiscale  

You can find further information on this instrument in the description of those videos. An extensive review about the bass is available here: https://www.frank-koester.de/boerjes-... (in German)
