- African ribbon mahogany body
- Burled maple top and matching headstock
- 3 piece quartersawn maple neck with graphite inlays
- 5A birdseye...

2/1/24 - Only 2 basses remain...the SVS 8 string headless fretless with LED fretlines, and the SVS 9 string. Make me offer if you're interested! Let's talk! I'd rather see these go to good homes than to stay here and be unplayed.

Never expected to do this, but there’s something else I have my eye on and well, you know how it goes. So, for your consideration is my Stambaugh Master Series 6, featuring what might be the nicest flamed redwood top I’ve ever seen in my life. The bass is in amazing condition. I’ve inspected it...

This is an awesome bass. It's perfectly balanced, both in weight and tone. It's beautiful and of course (Stambaugh!) it plays and feels great.
Then why on earth would you sell it? Well, I have a lot of basses, including 3 other Stambaugh basses. This one I just don't play as it deserves.

I've never done a bass demo video before but my new custom Stambaugh is gorgeous and has some really cool features that I think folks would be interested to learn more about.
What format do you tend to prefer? Do you like to see someone play the same scale over and over with every possible...

This is a swamp ash Warmoth 5 string Jazz with a Stambaugh custom neck. This neck is phenomenal. It is a fairly narrow 44mm at the nut and and 17mm string spacing. For me it is perfect, and the cocobolo fretboard is beautiful. The action is fairly low and it is very playable. It is right...

This bass is made by New Hampshire's finest luthier, Chris Stambaugh. I replaced the Aguilar super doubles with the original Aero pickups. I find the tone a bit more subtle.

Body: Mahogany

In a nutshell, I ordered a bass from Chris Stambaugh back in early 2016. At the time, he had told me it would take about a year for it to be built and sent to me. To date, I've neither gotten my bass nor have I heard from him. I called him a couple of times, but got his voice mail and no return...
