Mo says…
Mo
A handsome six-string leviathan from DeArmond, pairing broad extended-range possibilities with active electronics and beautifully understated natural timber. Rather more orchestra than mere bass.

Notable Particulars

  • Six-string configuration provides an extended range for modern bass lines, chords and melodic playing
  • Twin soapbar pickups offer a versatile platform for everything from deep fundamentals to articulate upper-register work
  • Active electronics powered by an onboard 9V battery provide extensive tonal shaping
  • Multi-piece neck-through-style construction gives the instrument an elegant, substantial feel
  • Natural wood finish showcases the grain and gives this imposing bass a wonderfully organic appearance

The Details

The DeArmond Pilot DLX VI is a rather splendid six-string bass from the era when DeArmond instruments offered adventurous specifications at remarkably approachable prices. This Korean-crafted example combines extended range, active electronics and handsome natural woods in a distinctly purposeful design.
Its six strings open considerably more territory than a conventional four-string, whether you are exploring subterranean lows, chordal passages or melodic excursions higher up the fingerboard. Two large soapbar pickups are partnered by a five-control layout, with a rear 9V battery compartment.
The natural-finished body has sweeping double cutaways and excellent upper-fret access, while the dark fingerboard carries simple dot position markers. Particularly attractive is the multi-piece construction visible along the rear of the instrument and neck, giving the bass a wonderfully crafted appearance.
A fascinating DeArmond for players who enjoy having rather more sonic acreage beneath their fingertips. With six strings, active circuitry and acres of natural timber, this is a bass built for exploration.
