This week’s BotW that arrived in the featureme@bestbassgear.com<\/a> inbox comes from Keith<\/a>, who had his bass custom built by Stambaugh Musical Design<\/strong><\/a> in New Hampshire, USA.<\/p>\n

Keith (the buyer) was a part of the design process as Chris (the builder) constructed the instrument for him.<\/p>\n

Chris Stambaugh is a Luthier in Alton N.H. I am very fortunate to know Chris on a personal level as he has built me 5 (including this sweet gem) basses over the past 16 years. It was also quite thrilling to be a part of the design process on this build. The top is a quilted mahogany with ebony,alder and maple inlaid parallelograms. An Alder body and walnut backing 36″  fingerboard of Indonesian ebony. Big ol’ Bartolini’s  and eventually will be placing an Aguilar pre-amp and double stacked knobs 5 piece laminate neck. Hipshot De-tuners.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Guitars built by Stambaugh are a sight to behold, no question about it. And they play and sound just as good as they look.<\/p>\n
