Swamp Ash Body, maple\/maple neck, Grover tuners, Schaller bridge and strap locks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/emg-pickups.htm\">Active EMG&#8217;s<\/a> with 3 band EQ. They are Built in Dodge City, Kansas by me, by hand, one at a time. I currently build 4 &amp; 5 string, 34&#8243; scale basses. I have four of my own bass models, Hook, Tyranis, Paragon, and Axiom and have also modified J and P bass designs to my own specs, basically slightly smaller and lighter bodies. J or P necks are available on any body style. There are also two 6 string guitar designs I offer. The Slyder and Badazz. All available for custom order with many options on each model. Choice of woods, necks, etc. the rundown of what I offer is on my website. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_04_Daves Bass full backBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_04_Daves Bass full backBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_04_Daves-Bass-full-backBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"1648\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_05_Daves Bass full frontBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_05_Daves Bass full frontBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_05_Daves-Bass-full-frontBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"1683\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_06_Daves Bass Headstock  backBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_06_Daves Bass Headstock  backBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_06_Daves-Bass-Headstock-backBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"783\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_07_Daves Bass headstock FrontBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_07_Daves Bass headstock FrontBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_07_Daves-Bass-headstock-FrontBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"908\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_09_Daves Bass LOGO headstockBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_09_Daves Bass LOGO headstockBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_09_Daves-Bass-LOGO-headstockBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_08_Daves Bass L FR SideBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_08_Daves Bass L FR SideBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_08_Daves-Bass-L-FR-SideBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"803\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_03_daves bass body backBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_03_daves bass body backBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_03_daves-bass-body-backBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"860\"><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img title=\"02227_02_Dave Hook 5 body frontBBG\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px\" border=\"0\" alt=\"02227_02_Dave Hook 5 body frontBBG\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/ebass\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/02227_02_Dave-Hook-5-body-frontBBG.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"868\"><\/p>\n<p>We think it&#8217;s great, but what do you think?
