Description

The HV10BCE is the smart acoustic bass in Jumbo Cutaway format from Lag's HyVibe 10 series, featuring the new HyVibe 2 system. Thanks to HyVibe technology, for the first time an acoustic bass transforms into a speaker, an amplifier, a multi-effect processor, and a multi-track looper, all integrated directly into the instrument's body. The HV10BCE features a solid Red Cedar top paired with back and sides made of Khaya Mahogany. The fretboard, bridge, and headstock are made of Brown Brankowood, an eco-friendly wood resistant to changes in humidity and temperature.

OVERVIEW OF THE LAG HYVIBE 10 HV10BCE

The HV10BCE marks a new milestone as the first HyVibe acoustic bass. The Jumbo body and solid Red Cedar soundboard produce deep and resonant lows, while the Khaya Mahogany back and sides ensure balance and warmth: perfect for both rhythm sections and solo performances. The fretboard and bridge made of Brown Brankowood, an ecological wood resistant to temperature and humidity changes, make this bass stable over time. The HyVibe H2 system is based on a technology that combines a piezo sensor, a high-performance processor, and actuators that analyze and enhance the bass's natural resonance. The signal picked up by the piezo is transferred to the processor, which integrates a multi-effect processor, a looper, a drum machine, an EQ, Bluetooth, and a tuner, and is sent to the actuators. These convert the digital signal into vibration, amplifying it by using the bass's body as a soundbox to amplify the signal. The result is an acoustic rendition of the effects, looper, and audio sent via Bluetooth, allowing everything to be heard directly from the guitar. It is still possible to connect the guitar to an amplifier via a standard output jack. In addition to the onboard functions, it is possible to connect the bass to the dedicated HyVibe app, accessing additional functions.

THE NEW HYVIBE H2 SYSTEM

The Lag HyVibe series introduces the HyVibe H2 preamp, which pushes the boundaries of what an acoustic bass can offer. At the heart of HyVibe technology are actuators positioned under the soundboard, behind the bridge, which transform the bass's top into a real speaker. In combination with the powerful H2 processor, this system ensures improved sound quality, with effects, loops, and amplification that resonate naturally and without feedback, perfectly blending acoustic and digital sounds.

    
• Improved interface: the H2 preamp features a bright color display with an intuitive interface, making it easier to customize the sound. Quick buttons offer immediate access to settings, for smooth control both in the rehearsal room and live.
    
• Dynamic effects: create your quality sounds with integrated effects such as reverb, chorus, delay, tremolo, octaver, and distortion. Precise controls allow you to shape the sound directly on the bass.
    
• Next-generation looper: record a basic loop and overdub up to three additional layers. Perfect for building melodies or practicing complex compositions.
    
• Wireless speaker function: play audio directly from your devices and amplify it through the guitar's body. Thanks to the increased power of the H2 processor, the HyVibe offers superior sound quality, ideal for creating backing tracks alone or during jam sessions.
    
• Rechargeable and long-lasting battery: the rechargeable lithium batteries of the HyVibe preamp offer over 10 hours of continuous use.
