I specialize in classical guitars but I got my start making electric guitars & basses, I still make electrics when time permits. <\/p>\n

This bass was a commission for a customer that wanted a lightweight 35″ scale 6 string with a 12 fret neck joint. <\/p>\n

The body and neck are Korina , birdseye maple and walnut, the fingerboard is Honduras rosewood. <\/p>\n

The pickups are my own design, I made the bobbins and the covers and had Lindy Fralin wind them for me. <\/p>\n

It has a Bartolini preamp<\/a> and Hipshot hardware<\/a> with Piezo saddles. <\/p>\n

The neck has 2 truss rods, made in shop, and a carbon fiber rod reinforcing where the neck meets the body. <\/p>\n

The body design is my own, designed for balance and comfort, the total weight is about 8.5 lbs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
