SC Tribute

My Buddy Dan and TB member Rowka is building me a G&L SC shaped bass geetar . He is well on his way and she is looking darn good . check it

 

Yeah some very creative things infused into it .

 

Rowka sent me a pic . hmmm what is this...

 

Dan is going to send the weight and thoughts on the balance later but he says it is a wee heavy and sounds like a grand piano , lets hope I don't need piano movers !

 

She had a weigh in last night .. 11 lbs.

 

A giant Thank you to Rowka to send this amazing instrument my way .It's hard to describe how Awesome this bass and all it's unique & unusual features . It's a beast of a bass .. an Elephant gun ..so lets check her out shall we .

The headstock is so cool too I can't quite capture it's true beauty yet in the pics but I will . It's super comfy to play and balances perfectly . Shes a solid brick house at 11 .2 lbs but sits on you perfectly , all the contours are just right . Actually I think Rowka hit on something here that you don't often see . The contours really do sit into your body much differently then say a Fender . They are carved and shaped and have a ergonomic flow which is one of it's unique qualities . I think Rowka should pursue this more in future builds . Think Kline or Kubicki but with a "normal" body shape . I'll get more pics and clips as we go , right now it's the center piece in the room The headstock is gleaming like the North Star Lots of love and praise to Rowka I believe he is a gifted artisan that is willing and able to do things differently . Let there be rock !

 

Oh btw Rowka also built that little Maple shell for the Firefly .

 

there is some additional rounding over and flow , it's hard to see in those picks but it's thinner at the top edge and cuts deeper in and the forearm thins out more for lack of a better word . They are in the usual places but just conform and flow a little more .
