    Hi, I share some pics of the building process bass for my endorser Fernando Lamadrid.

    The bass is our version of a classic Jazz Bass but with some extras:

    -flamed maple top over swamp ash body

    -3 pieces maple neck and indian rosewood fretboard ( flamed maple binding and inlay blocks )

    -Two Lorita custom split coil pickups with ebony wooden covers

    - OPB-1 preamp with passive tone

    -Amber finish

    I hope you like it.

    Xavier Lorita, Lorita Basses.

    Wow! Perfect sound for a perfect player. No need for a 5th string.

    I'm wondering about the thin black line around each of the maple blocks in the fretboard. Is it black epoxy? CA glue? ebony or black-dyed veneer?

    It's a very nice effect!

    Really nice basses Xavier, it would be lovely if you could post some more pictures of your basses. I´ve seen more on your facebook page and I liked what I have seen.

    Un abrazo!
