Hi
This bass is for the same customer as the Skelf guitar.

The spec.
The remit on this bass was to make it as much like a guitar as possible so the body is smaller than I would normally make.

The body is black limba with a quilt maple top and ebony centre line.
The neck is wenge with an ebony board and a quilt maple headplate.

Hardware all in black.
Hipshot Type A bridge.
Hipshot Ultralites.
1 ACG FatBas custom wound humbucker which will be conected to a mini-switch to split the coils seris/single/parallel. The output will go into a John East 2 band EQ.
