My new custom P/MM 5 string KOCA bass

[Berk Evren]

After a long research & even a longer decision period, my custom bass project is finally finished and i wanted to share the joy with you

I already have a G&L L-2500 (2 humbuckers) and a Ibanez SR-1405 (2 single coil pickups) so i wanted a P/MM configuration.

I really liked Delano pickups and preamp; very clean and powerful and also very good chosen frequencies on the eq, no noticeable volume differences between active/passive.

Thanks to luthier Erdem Koca, the neck is very fast and easy to play, the fretwork and finish is amazing, also the B string is very tight and useful, better than my other 2 basses. It weights 4.2 kg (9.25 pounds).

Specs:
Body: Honduras Mahogany
Top: Flame Maple / Cocobolo
Neck: 5 piece Wenge (with Carbon Fiber Rods)
Fretboard: Ebony
Nut: Warwick Just A Nut III
Frets: Warwick Bell Bronze Frets
Bridge Pickup: Delano MC 5 FE/J
Neck Pickup: Delano PMVC 5 FE/M2
Preamp: Delano Sonar 3 MS/E
Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite
Bridge: Hipshot A Style Brass (17mm)

- Mid Frequency Select switch
- Series / Parallel / Single Coil switch
- Active / Passive (Push-Pull)

That is beautiful! The thumbs don't blow up to full size - might be worth editing the post to include full size photos for something as sexy as that...at least for a couple of the main shots.

The woods are amazing and I love the sandwich look. I also like that you have reverse P - in my opinion, it's the one thing Leo got wrong.

I have not tried it, but have heard that Delano makes one of the best sounding MM pickups out there.
