Pasco Jacorius Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hi there , I just wanted to share some pictures of my next bass which is being built by french luthier Tom Marceau who made a signature guitar for Lucky Peterson , a partnership with Hadrien Feraud , and who built Alan Stivell's new harp (to name a few) . Here are the specs : Body : Mahogany Neck : 9 pièces maple/rosewood stripes and ebony fingerboard (24 frets, 31") Top/back(full) : Quilted/flamed/spalted maple Electronics : Marceau pickups / john east preamp Tuners/brigde : hipshot (black) [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/gzje.jpg/][IMG]http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/543/gzje.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Pasco Jacorius Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Hi there , I've got some pics of the pickups that will go into that beauty ! Tom made them a bit like the duncan/fodera concept (alnico 2), with some secret ingredient ) ! The CNC is set up to mimmic hand winding and the coils are wound asymmetrically to reach a wider frequency range.

Pasco Jacorius Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 OOps , I'm not the builder , just the customer my friend. This is the bass Tom Marceau is making for me . For the moment he puts John East preamps in the basses , but I think he'll soon have his own preamp . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
