The name NAVIGATOR is a tribute to the scientist Enrico Fermi; its name refers to the coded message that informed the President of the United States that Fermi had succeeded in achieving a controlled chain reaction in the first atomic pile: “The Italian navigator has just landed in the new world”. The Navigator F1 features an original design in ultra-light, ultra-resonant Val Di Fiemme spruce, carefully studied microphone placement and active electronics that respect the acoustic qualities of the instrument. Like all the basses in the F1 range, you'll get the Formula 1 of our creations, top-quality instruments crafted according to an artisanal process, without any compromise in terms of sound or quality.
