Specs :
- 6 strings (19mm spacing @bridge)
- 2 Delano JSBC P/U
- Noll preamp, 3 bands, param-mids
- limba body, walnut top & back + paduk
- hipshot black hardware
- macassar ebony fingerboard (34", 24 frets + fret-0)
- paduk / maple / wenge neck with 2 graphite inserts
- oil finish
I took this project that was initially started by another bass player. As his original specs were exactly what I was dreaming of in terms of comfort (string spacing, neck thickness, etc) and the construction was something completely new to me (singlecut, ebony fingerboard), I did not hesitate a second.
I defined with Martin the choice of pickups and electronics, my most wanted feature was a full 3 band eq with param mids.
