Chandler Royale Ads

Ad in Vintage Guitar with Tom Petersson playing the Green Sparkle Royale 12-string bass on stage.

TEXT FROM AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR CHANDLER 12-STRING BASSES:

“The Finest 12-String Bass Ever Made"

"Designed in collaboration with Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick, this instrument offers outstanding tone and playability in a cool, retro package. The neck's comfortable shaping provides sufficient width for clean execution of low-register notes without being too large to play easily. Chandler's highly acclaimed finishes range from beautiful stained wood colors to outrageous Super Sparkle colors and everything in between."

"The SUPER 60 pickups are voiced to bring out the twang of the octave strings while retaining a solid fundamental with ringing overtones. The neck position pickup is a split-humbucking design offering deep, resonant low end. The middle and bridge pickups are large "soap bars" which give plenty of single-coil bite. Each of the pickups is located under a harmonic for best tone.”

“Individual volume and on/off switches offer control over all possible pickup combinations. Other control layouts are available by customer request.”
