Product Description
First launched in 1964 as a follow-up to the Burns Sonic, the Nu-Sonic Bass reissue has a body made from basswood with a maple veneer which lends the body a slightly stronger visual aspect beneath the Cherry Red polyester finish. The neck is maple and has an Indian Rosewood fingerboard with traditional dot inlays. It has a very slim neck, with lots of room to move around the fingerboard comfortably. Its lower string tension, coupled with the flatwound strings, makes the Nu-Sonic Bass great fun to play. The Nu-Sonic Bass has elements like the short-scale length, small machine heads and flatwound strings lend it real vintage character. It has a classic sixties retro tone and feel; a small bass with a big sound. Price includes a molded hard case, a leather strap and tool kit.
JAMES ORMSTON BURNS (1925 - 1998) has often been described as the 'British Leo Fender' a well-deserved and apt title because there are many parallels to be drawn between the two men.
Jim Burns too was very much a pioneer, and his policy of continual development and refinement reflected a constant quest to realise his vision of the ideal electric guitar. Distinctive design ideas were more than matched by accompanying hardware and circuitry and although some such aspects bordered on gimmickry, others offered genuine innovation, and have become accepted concepts, later to be claimed as firsts by other, more illustrious conveniently forgetful makers.
The favourable response already received by BURNS LONDON is due to superlative product quality and equivalent performance potential. Any good fortune involved is there to be enjoyed by the player, as at last there are new Burns instruments available that successfully continue the fine legacy of those early classics.
