This is a hand made Custom Shop instrument. Custom Color Electron Blue Metallic Superlite Paulownia body with Maple neck, bound Rosewood fretboard, pearl block inlays, lightweight Hipshot tuners, and custom wound vintage style pickups and a NOS vintage paper in oil capacitor from Ukraine in the tone circuit matched to this bass guitar. Very lightweight and resonant, this bass has that low mid growl heard on stage and in the best recordings throughout the 60's, 70's and 80's!
We are producing these as our version of vintage Fender instruments made in the 50's. 60's and early 70's. Highly sought after original vintage instruments can bring well over $10,000 and taking them on stage and into studios is a serious risk. These Custom Shop instruments are light weight, resonant and have the feel, playability and tone of the old treasured instruments. They can be used for touring and recording without the risk of loss or damage.
