Harmony H22 Bass Demo: World’s Oldest Living Bass
Chris Laguna from Harmony
Guitars is back with the company's sole Bass in from their Vintage series, the Harmony H22. This hollowbody bass's design is from an age when the electric bass wasn't actually supposed to be heard; Harmony knew they were going to have to improve some of the specs before it was played through the bass amps of today, so they gave the thing upgraded tuners.
Otherwise, this axe is all-vintage spec, with a single, gold-foil pickup that goes great with flatwounds. To preserve its yesteryear-tone, Chris thumped the H22 through a Vox AC15. Yeah, that's why he's playing though a guitar amp . . .
