The feature bass this week is a cool 2-string slide bass.<\/p>\n

Bass builder Colin Meagher writes:<\/p>\n

This bass build was inspired by the Mark Sandman bass that I saw him play when he came to Melbourne Australia. Its a Two String Slide Bass. Its a Beast and has the better of me so far. I have to learn how to play it. It has a mahogany body with Australian Ash verneer on the body and head stock, maple neck and rose wood finger board. The bone nut is set high so there is plenty of room under the strings so the slide does not clack up and down on the frets. Gretch Filtertron pickups going through an active Seymour Duncan on board preamp give it a sound much fatter and richer in tone that what Morphine fans would be used to hearing. I made the scratch plate and chromed a brass plate for the controls. I would like to thank David Searle and Robert Pryke at Melbourne School of Guitar Making for their help and guidance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
