NBD Pete Hilton Bass

[lepreconbass13]

Got her a little under a month ago. Now for some specs:
32" scale
Kent Armstrong pickup

Woods

Body-
Black walnut core, poplar/padauk top and back w/ bocote stripes

Neck-
Curly padauk w/ macassar ebony board and bocote stripes

Headstock-
Black walnut core, poplar/padauk top and back, padauk trussrod cover, ebony and bone nut

She plays as good as she looks, the action is really low. By far she's my new go to bass!

Really cool! Congrats.

 

[Diesel Kilgore]

Wow. I really love the woodwork of it. Very unique and "whymsical".

 

[DerHoggz]

Fantastic. I really like his other body shape as well.

 

[EduardoK]

Really GASing for a Hilton!
What type of bridge is that? What's the string spacing?

 

[20db pad]

Kahler Whammy bridge

 

[lepreconbass13]

It's a kahler whammy as the guy above mentioned. I believe the string spacing is 16mm but I'll double check it later.

That is a very beautiful bass, congrats!
I have not heard of this builder before, I'll take a closer look at his work.

Very cool! I emailed Pete a while ago about checking out his shop next time I'm in NYC. He seems like a super cool guy. I learned about him when I met Chris Wollard from Hot Water Music. He's been playing a guitar that Pete built and loves it.

+1. Pete is indeed a super cool guy.

That was one of the videos that led me to Pete. He was very easy to deal with and his work speaks for itself.
