thats what the players say

Ich selbst besitze einen atemberaubenden Solid II von Kristall… und der immer noch begeistert wie am ersten Tag!

I still get a lot of positive feedback on my Kristall bass from sound engineers and fellow musicians.

Ich war lange auf der Suche nach Instrumenten die einen klanglichen Charakter besitzen –
Diese Bässe haben einfach alles was ich von einem Custom Instrument erwarte
Paul TietzeSOLID 6 / STEADY 6

High custom-made quality is what comes to my mind when I think of Kristall Basses. Andreas Kristall perfectly understands the necessities of a bass-player.

Mit meinem Kristall-5-Saiter habe ich einen Bass der Oberklasse in jeder Hinsicht. Optik, Haptik, Bespielbarkeit, Sound – alles ist Top! Dazu eine hervorragende Betreuung. Danke!
