Back in &#8217;09 I was laid off, so I decided to put the two together and try this building thing out. I&#8217;ve had a few clients ask me about submitting to you guys, so here we go.<\/p>\n<p>This is the DC 05 Cambered &#8220;WADA&#8221; bass. Its a chambered ash body with a maple, wenge neck through. Figured, almost a burl, maple top with a sitka spruce walnut, maple veneer sound layer. Sound holes above pickup area and at scroll in top horn. 35&#8243; scale wenge fretboard with maple stringers, a double bass clef at the 12th and a zero fret. fabricated wenge bridge with gold lock down saddles and string through the body detail. Two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/emg-pickups.htm\">EMG DC45 pickups<\/a> under a figure maple pickup ramp powered with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestbassgear.com\/emg-preamps.htm\">EMG BQC 3 band active preamp<\/a> 9-volt and a NUTRIC locking output jack.
