I met Giacomo during the Liuteria Cesarini expo 2015, at Umbria Jazz. He has not been in the Negrita (great rock italian band) for a long time and has shown interest in some of the instruments I proposed for his 2015/2016 summer tours. Giacomo comes from sound Fender Precision and Music Man, so I offered him the C-Man and C-Precision. He preferred the C-Precision, which mounts a split dipper Di Marzio cream 70s. The decidedly “swollen” sound is rock.
G. tested the C-Precision bass here:
The C-Precision is a Vintage Series ’70 instrument, that is an instrument assembled with parts of vintage parts of interest, which can no longer be taken back to their origin. The instrument in question has been restored and adjusted, as well as changed in various aspects (thickness of body, varnish, C of the neck, electronics, etc …).
Giacomo Rossetti bio follows
G. is an Italian bass player born in 1986 born in Città della Pieve, a small town on the border between Umbria and Tuscany.
He spent his childhood there, moving only after his scientific maturity in Florence to study music at the Accademia Musicale di Firenze. In 2007 he participates as a representative of the academy to the project promoted by the UCODEP of Arezzo “Make music not wall” in Palestine, project aimed at creating musical workshops in the Palestinian villages during which he takes part as bassist for the band Modena City Ramblers, also they project promoters.
After the Florentine experience he moved to London where he stayed for a year and where he managed to contaminate, thanks to the knowledge of many local musicians and concerts scattered throughout the city, his musical baggage.
He joined the Negrita in February 2014 on the occasion of the band’s participation in the “Musical Jesus Christ Superstar” with the exceptional presence of Ted Neeley.
