Description:
This is Seth's 28th bass.
38 1/4” string length
The top is made from spruce, neck and sides of plain maple and the back is made from quilted maple.
I wasn’t getting a lot of interest in a bass with a high C string so I decided to change things up, shift up the strings and install a low B. This bass makes an impressive sound down there. I’m impressed! I’ll throw in the high C string for those adventurous souls.
The bass has an Eb neck and fine silver posts to mark positions.
This bass has a big, warm, and refined sound. The action is incredibly low but doesn’t stop you from digging in without string rattling.
Another option for this bass is to use Viennese tuning - A, F#, D, A, E (or F if you’re being traditional).
