Last week I received the bass from Luthier Access Group up here in Chicago. Thus, I have been able to play this instrument for about a week. I thought it might have been difficult to go from a five to six but I have not found this to be the case with this instrument.
The playability is really great. I realize that the design might not appeal to some TB'ers out there but I think that it is really elegant and the craftsmanship is unparalleled. Well, how does it sound? It sounds fantastic! The bass comes with two Delano Xtender pickups. Thus, the instrument can go from active/passive as well as split/dual coil. The instrument is also built with a John East preamp.
The following are rest of the specs on this:
Number of strings : 6 B/E/A/D/G/C
Scale length :34"
Neck wood : wenge, mahogany, maple and walnut
Headstock : top in maple
Fretboard : rosewood
Body top : maple
Body back : mahogany
Splints : mahogany, maple and wal nut
Hardware : black
Bridges : ABM
Space strings : 18 mm
Electronic :John East 3 band
Pickups : Delano Xtender quadcoils
Finish color : natural satin varnish
Finger ramp : rosewood
Although I currently haven't recorded any samples the following will give you a good indication of how this bass sounds:
