This is a handcrafted 34″ scale 4 string bass. Its neck dimensions and pick-up placements are similar to that of a Jazz Bass. The body is ash with a 1\/4 thick veneer of cherry, this cherry tree was cut and milled some 70 years ago, it actually stood in my grandfathers grandparents front yard in Staten Island. When it was cut down my grandfather collected it and had it milled, I inherited it when he passed. The neck is solid Cocobolo placed in a hybrid neck thru type way. I made the bridge from solid chunks of brass and the nut I shaped from vintage cow bone. The tuners are Gotoh<\/a> and the pick-ups are vintage spec. Fender Jazz wired with CTS potts. Vintage Emerson tone cap. and cloth type wires. The finish on this one is a proprietary blend of tung oil, varnish and wax. Enjoy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
