Good things come to those who wait. This bass took several months to build, and the end result was wonderful.<\/p>\n

This bass was a custom build that i made for Rick Bouvette of Joy Tribe earlier this year. It took many months of deliberation to arrive at what would be the best combination of woods both tonally, and aesthetically. Based on experience from past builds, I had recommended Wenge and\/or Padouk for their exceptionally exquisite tonal qualities. After waxing and waning and pondering the possibilities, Rick finally came up with this wood combination and layout, and the idea was set into motion. The body woods are Padouk, Wenge, and Swamp Ash (in order front to back), the neck woods are Wenge, Padouk, and Flamed Maple (from center to edge), with a Birdseye Maple fretboard. The neck construction consists of tapered laminations for superior strength and sound transmission, and features my signature headstock designed for the same. <\/p>\n

The electronics in this beauty are all Nordstrand Fastback 6 pickups with their 3 band active eq. <\/p>\n

I also installed an active\/passive switch with a single coil setting for that extra boost, as well as a high\/lo mid switch. Rick was looking for a highly flexible tonal range, with transparent highs and thick lows. This setup definitely delivers. <\/p>\n

The hardware is Hipshot, both bridge and tuning machines. <\/p>\n

This bass also features hand made knobs to match the body laminations. Although this is my Glade single cut-away model, Rick and I gave her the name “Synchronicity” for the many coincidences and such that occurred during her design and construction. I don’t have a sound clip to post yet, but hopefully soon. I should give a big thanks BBG, you guys have been my favorite online supplier for years! <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
