我们在最近在柏林的圣杯吉他表演中遇到了塞思·巴库斯（Seth Baccus），他的作品质量给人留下了深刻的印象。Baccus的声音琴师安迪·曼森（Andy Manson）的继子在锯末，乐器和音乐家中长大。他还在上大学时还为曼森的研讨会提供了帮助。Baccus went on to manage Andy’s brother Hugh Manson’s guitar shop in Exeter, and it was through that role that he worked with Muse and became a touring tech for John Paul Jones – he was part of the crew for the Led Zeppelin reunion show at London’s O2 arena in 2007.
Baccus于2004年开始建造自己的吉他，并于2009年离开曼森（Mansons）成为一名全职琴师。Baccus与安迪·曼森（Andy Manson）在葡萄牙共享一个研讨会，在2012年推出了他的场颈单核Nautilus，现在该系列包括落水台，空心身体，现代和经典模型 - 这是我们在这里的后者。
床头柜带有乌木饰面
Nautilus Classic显然受到吉布森最著名的电动单切割的影响，但曲折的形状为25.5英寸，在这个特定的例子上是带有火焰胶盖的室内沼泽灰烬。即使按照这个高昂的价格支架中的标准衡量，Nautilus的结构的质量也非常干净，并且为顶部和颈部选择的欧洲火焰枫树的吸引力部分都被双重染色的褪色木炭饰面所强调。
Despite filling out to more than an inch in depth, the ‘Deep C’ neck profile is effortlessly playable and feels svelte and speedy thanks to a carve that’s almost V-shaped in the way it fills the palm but has very little shoulder to get in the way. Deep C and light overall weight notwithstanding, the Nautilus is certainly no diver and balances superbly on a strap.
Seth Baccus Nautilus经典
On plugging into a clean-ish 6V6-powered amp, with a touch of spring reverb providing the ambience, we’re struck immediately by the bell-like purity of the Nautilus Classic’s voice – it will defy the expectations of anyone who assumes that a twin-humbucker single-cut is all about midrange push and brute force. There’s plenty of air, and the chambered construction and Fender-style scale length help the Nautilus sound open, expansive and almost semi-acoustic.
拉丝尼克尔盖的裸指关节拾音器是一个绝佳的选择。At 8.9k, the VHII in the bridge is a little hotter than most vintage humbuckers, but its PAF-like high end and harmonic complexity is perhaps unsurprising given that the ‘raw energy and brown sound of the late 70s’ that Bare Knuckle says it is voiced to capture is a nod to the tones that Eddie Van Halen created using his ‘Frankenstein’ guitar, fitted with an original PAF removed from his Gibson ES-335.
室内沼泽灰的背部有自然的饰面
The extended, musical treble of the bridge pickup’s voicing in combination with the Nautilus’ construction means that chiming Johnny Marr chords, Nile Rodgers funk and even country cleans aren’t out of the question – it doesn’t just cover those bases, either, it sounds really rather good.
获得了明确的高音反应，转化为真正唱歌的严肃铅音调，尽管没有强大而紧密的低音，但经典的摇滚节奏却得到了很好的服务。均衡的暴风雨的周一脖子上的拾音器是VHII旁边的明智选择 - 它略微sc的中间和延伸高的高点意味着没有毛利。取而代之的是，您会得到一种令人愉悦的清晰度和奶油，适合缓慢而表现力的蓝调。无论是干净还是肮脏，双挑剔的声音都光滑，悠闲，非常适合绑扎氛围。
优雅的脖子连接可轻松进入上部品格
Gibson风格的顶帽旋钮看起来是零件，但是当您想参与线圈切片时，它并不是最容易向上拉的，这是通过每个拾音器的音调锅激活的。也就是说，当采用两圈切片时，它会解锁一系列更安静，更稀薄的声音，这些声音可能对您需要“提高”效果的部分很有用。这也许反映出裸露的指关节在全障模式下的表达程度如何，我们发现自己并没有经常觉得需要经常转向线圈切割。
塞思·巴库斯（Seth Baccus）对他的工艺的热爱转化为对细节的罕见关注，但我们并不是在谈论完美的完美：瑙蒂尔斯（Nautilus）的心跳加速，这是一种吉他，令人振奋。It also has one of our favourite necks of the year and, despite the undoubtedly bling-y boutique vibe of the rippling flametop and high-gloss poly finish, this still feels like a bona fide player’s guitar and no ornament – musically, it opens doors and no mistake.
