Made this 6-string neck-thru construction was (neck passes through the body).
The neck consists of five continuous strip (3x maple, walnut 2x) and laterally to the body wings two other Walnußschichten.
Both body wings are made of solid precious wood made the sandwich method.
The ceiling layer as the bottom are made of 0.5 cm thick solid Macassar ebony with very fine grain.
NO PLYWOOD!
In between is an approximately 3 cm thick layer of ash, walnut sold discreetly by thin separation layers - absolutely cool!
The top plate has a suitable support from Makassar.
The fingerboard is made of genuine ebony, I do not want to mention that this is the most expensive and hardest variant of a fingerboard wood.
In the middle of the fingerboard was a real mother of pearl inlay (from the abalone shell) in the form of a scorpion set - looks great. Also at the center of the top plate can be found again this mother-of-scorpion.
The bass is equipped with original Kent Armstrong pickups. These provide for an impressive signal that can be extensively edited by the active preamp / EQ. The active electronics are also used by the well-known brand with the big "W" and is a 18 volt system. For this purpose, were admitted to the rear of the body extra two battery compartments. Controls: Volume, PU-balance, treble, mid, bass. It is almost impossible. Also, this bass can if necessary operate passively, because he also has a active / passive mini-switch. The hardware is completely Wilkinson and anodized black (painted not only simple = less friction). The tuners run like butter, are indeed also by Wilkinson (UK), with a corresponding character! Is delivered with the bass strings run through the body, allowing the individual webs threading alternatively from behind / above (toploaded). The saddle is made of graphite, which makes the strings slide nicely into the grooves and, like the frets, worked a perfect string height.
The extra-long scale length of 888 mm ensures that even the lowest notes sound clean contours.
Of course, this instrument plays because of the changes we have professional setup like butter.
