Wow! And look at the pickup config. Unique for sure.

 

[5string5fingers]

Someone should email and ask how much it weighs.

 

[UncleBalsamic]

Man, I bet that's heavy.

 

[Zombbg4]

He does say its chambered so its probably not crazy heavy.

This.

And I like the 3 Jazz config, like a 3 Chi Lakland.

 

[xush]

cool.
I've got an FBB w/ wenge neck and FB and a similar p'up config (not quite that far apart.)

Never really considered an 'all wenge' recipe, but I love it for necks/FBs.

Dutch chocolate ice cream dipped in dark chocolate.

Someone on here made a Jazz witha chambered wenge body. I like the idea a lot.

Someone should email and ask how much it weighs.

As usual when somebody asks that, the answer will be:

"Around 8-12 pounds by my bathroom scale."

looks georgeous. is it just me or does that bridge pickup look kinda far from the bridge? i think the middle pickup might be in precision territory, and the neck pickup is kinda obvious..

its either amazing or a failed experiment. regardless, it looks georgeous, and for $800 that aint a bad deal (considering a new mexican fender is 600+..)

Airplanes are chambered too.....

 

[MadMan118]

As much as I love wenge, I don't love it that much.

 

[mkrtu9]

I like it, but I don't care for the standard fender control knob plate on this one.

And aluminum is lighter than wenge!

 

[Sterling_Bass]

I would love to get a chance to play it. If it sounded and felt good, I would try to knock the price down a bit and score it for myself.

 

[wave rider]

Sure is appealing, wish he lived closer. I like dark chocolate...

[your idol]

overkill

pffffft, i've got a wenge neck from warmoth and it weighs more than the body. no joke. plus if you look on the warmoth website it even says that the chambered bodies only take off 25% of the weight. that thing probably weights about 12lbs.


ooo we should have a pool bet... guess how much the all-wenge bass weighs: win a ... all-wenge bass.

It has aluminum hardware.

Na, I think its just painted wenge.
