Italian guitars and bass manufacturer Alusonic Aluminum Instruments is excited to present a new bass model, made in collaboration with Italian worldwide known bassist Alberto Rigoni: the PentaFleX 5 string bass Special Edition. 

Andrea Pollice, Alusonic owner says: “The Alusonic PentaFleX Special Edition represents the state of the art about technology and versatility. We have selected a wonderful piece of White Tulip as body because it’s an extremely lightweight wood with great tone, the body is chambered and we put on an Aluminum alloy top that provides an incredible attack and sustain to the sound.  

The neck is a wonderful Flamed Balkan maple piece with graphite reinforcing rods inside for strength and stability, the hardware is made ourself by aluminium alloy.

Our innovative “PentaFleX” pickup provides five iconic “Precision” sounds such as P-Reverse, P51, Classic Precision as well as single coil and hum-bucker. Moreover, the sound is massive, crispy and rich in harmonics.

The Alusonic PentaFleX was born to offer to the bass player a handmade top instrument and a new sound experience…”

Alberto Rigoni says: “Considering that it features just one pickup, that’ definitely the most versatile bass I’ve ever tried. Moreover, the tone is punchy and really defined. Moreover, due to the materials used, it is super lightweight, just 3.5kg and it’s a 5 string! This bass is truly innovative!”
