Orfeus (Orpheus) / Trimontsium / 1960's / Red Burst / Bass For Sale
|
Orfeus Trimontsium - legendary HOFNER 500/1 clone by the Bulgarian SD-KLONMEBEL, manufactured since 60s.
Body of the"violin" shape guitar made of hand-shaped array of spruce, with glued wooden clips that connect the halves, springs and double-layer beech and spruce sidewall. Beech-maple neck painted in black. Anchor nut bred in the headstock. One of the most impressive and original design elements of the Orpheus should recognize inexplicable in terms of the rationality is the hook.
Bridge - maple bar, unattached to the body.
The scheme consists of two single pickups with three squared magnets in metal housings, two volume and overall tone. Output - standard DIN5.
Bass is awesome - if not to try to squeeze out the sounds that have not been invented at the time of its design. Trimontsium voice has a certain charm. Yes, he can boast sustain and depth, which is understandable for a short scale length of mensure (760 mm), but it sounds very elastic and clear. It is clear that the peak frequency response lies in the middle of the bottom, and the exhaust sensor is weak, but for the modern instrument of rock'n'roll , big and easy bit, rhythm and blues, this Orfeus fits great. And at least, the famous "click" it is able to deliver without any booster. And what old-school exterior!
