Zeta Music Systems, Inc. - Crossover

Reviewer: Brian
Amplifier Used: SWR Baby Blue
  • Vintage: 1997
  • Number of Strings: 4
  • Bowable: Yes
  • Balance While Playing: ******** (8/10)

I had this for a week and sent it back. It sounded very much like a bass guitar to me and bowing on electric bass strings is a real experience (and NOT a good one).

Construction was excellent, though, and it's a clever little design but not a good choice for experienced upright players due to the short scale and lack of thumbstop (basically you stop when you hit the body, about where the G octave is). You can wear this on a strap although why bother, use a bass guitar instead!

Compared to my plywood upright with an Underwood pickup, this did not sound as good.
