“Today it is about 5 years since I got my Unicorn and I still get ”wow” experiences at regular intervals. The bass is so wonderfully responsive and multi-faceted. I have worked as a professional bassist for about 25 years and have of course played on a multitude of basses in all different price ranges, but Unicornbass is in a class of its own regarding sound, craftsmanship, appearance and above all playability. As an improvisational musician, you want as few obstacles as possible between idea and execution. With a custom-made Unicorn in your hands, all obstacles are removed. Just go where the music takes you.”

If the best isn’t good enough then a bass built by master luthier Christian Olsson should satisfy your needs. The incredible know how when it comes to combine woods to reach your dream tone and the attention to the smallest detail is just a small part of what UNICORNbass stands for.

”The bass is a nice green jewel, an emerald, a green thing that I always play on now. As elegant tonewise as the build. But – even raw. Brutal. Or delicate. It is very playable and responds to dynamics and intents like few instruments I have played before. I always adjust the sound using the balance control preferring the bridge pickup; In that situation, I can get the right tone to the right piece of music. It’s all about how I play. Everything from bridge pickup growl to 60’s Motown via full range slap-tone, if I want. The pickups are really full-range, and in combination with the resonant mahogany body and the relatively fat neck of maple and Purpleheart, the bass has a TON of tone… If I want to play “jazz bass”, the bass can handle it gallantly. If I want to play P-bass, the bass can handle it as gallantly. The last six gigs I have backed up choirs, played blues, Elvis music and country. I do not bring any other bass on the gigs.”
-Roger Hedin, UNICORN Purist 5 CS
“This bass has it all! Infinite Sound Possibilities before you even begin to adjust the EQ! Responds incredibly well to playing style and dynamics ! The look is bold, yet sophisticated. According to me , it fits any context, using it for everything from folk to metal ! Easy to play ? You bet ! ”

Btw, played it for the first time in practice on Sunday, it blew all the guys away, they loved it. I was able to crank the 100hz frequency all the way up to the top (+18db) and it didnt lose any clarity, just added more bass, I have never been able to do that before!!!

“Hi Christian.
When I ordered the TwoTwelve, I was a little worried about missing the sound pressure from my 4×10 & 1×18 rig.
Now in retrospect, I can only say that the 212 box was worth waiting for …
The comments from the band, were directly: “We have never heard that better bass sound”. “Now every tone is heard right away!” “It’s so much bottom, have you connected the little box into the PA?” (Then I had no extra base on neither the base nor the amplifier). I rehearsed yesterday again and without using more than 30% of the volume on the amplifier I felt how the hair in the scalp vibrated by the bass sound.
But, since the box sends out exactly what it gets, I must step up my own playing… I can not get away with anything..
