[Bass of The Weeek] Eichhorn Custom build 0518 (Inspired by an Alembic)

According to the Builder, this was a custom build that was inspired by an Alembic that was stolen a few years ago.

Builder Darin Eichhorn writes:

This is the second of it’s kind, the first being made of Hard Maple with Walnut laminates.

This one is Walnut with Maple laminates. The neck is constructed of the same wood except the center core is of Peruvian Walnut. The head stock is sandwiched with the figured wood being used for the the top.

The body wings are from locally harvested Black Walnut that has been aged for over 15 years. The top is a salvaged, figured Bostogne Walnut drop.

More Details:

Neck through design

34" scale, 1.75" at the nut which is brass

Single two way truss rod

Two carbon fiber beams for stiffness

Macassor Ebony fingerboard
