This feature bass is a minimalist build where just one piece of wood makes up the entire body and<\/em> neck.<\/p>\n

I had a fascination to put knobs on the side. It is one piece of wood, Body, Neck, Head Sapele with a Wenge fretboard. Wilkinson Music Man style pickup and Tone monster active preamp. Tapewound D’Addario strings<\/a>. I love how it sounds. Deep Warm mellow tone. This is my first of many builds to come. This was partly to perfect techniques before a more serious style build I am starting soon. I am naming my builds after my late wife “TONA” in her honor. I am getting a branding Iron made to put name on it but I haven’t got it yet.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
