This week’s selection is from John. He wanted to take a balanced approach to this build. Here’s what he says:
I wanted to build a bass that could cover all genres of music and be balanced and comfortable to play at gigs. I also wanted it to be in the 8-9 lb range…. when finished it came in at 8.6 lbs. After some research I decided on Delano pickups and electronics in a pj configuration. Thanks to Best Bass Gear for suppling the products. I really enjoyed the build!
