This week’s bass guitar of the week started off with just a ’66 Hagstrom neck, and ended up being something much different – and even has fret marker LEDs.<\/p>\n

This is a custom 30.75″ short scale bass. I started with a 1966 Hagstrom bass neck with their classic I-beam truss rod. I replaced the Rosewood fretboard, frets, inlays, I reshaped the peghead from a Fender style 4-L to a 2-L & 2-R configuration. I also put Blue LED’s behind the mother of pearl fret markers. This is a semi hollow body. The total weight is only 7.7 pounds. There is also a removable pad on the back. It has a Bartolini neck jazz pickup<\/a>, a Hofner Icon pickup for that classic rock sound and a Rogue bridge pickup along with a Bartolini 3-band pre-amp<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At first glance, you really can’t tell this is a short scale bass. It is appointed with nice features and has a simple, elegant look to it. Well done, Mark!<\/p>\n
