Beautiful MK! The first double cutaway and a beautiful instrument! I can't say enough about the quality and tone of Martin's basses. This Buckeye burl is a rarity. GLWTS!

Thanks man....actually I searched all
over for a billet of buckeye for this bass and finally found it in Oregon. I bought it and shipped to Martin. He did an incredible job on it!

Cool bass!!

Do you have any more info, or a specs sheet on it? I'm wondering about: nut width (jazz or p bass feel neck), fingerboard radius, number of frets, weight, scale length, zodiac sign, food allergies etc. Could you post a picture of the whole thing together, body and headstock?

Thanks friend! Good luck with the sale.

BecDeCorbin · Apr 29, 2018

Hey Zimmy, she has 24 frets, 34” scale, nut width is 1 5/8”, iirc the radius is 10”, for me the neck sits right in that sweet spot between a P and a J. P’s are always too wide for me I find myself wishing J’s were more substantial. Weighs 7.6 lbs. on my digital scale, she’s Aries and likes being pounded on the beach.

Here’s a couple of full length pics.

Just found out one of my granddaughters is taking up the bass, as her older sister is a guitar player, and getting quite good. I knew bass would run in the family somewhere!

I considered giving her this bass for Christmas in a couple of years once she stays with it, but she’s not exactly in love with the buckeye......(crazy girl).......so I’ll be considering trades for something she’d like better.

Martin's work is amazing - can't believe this is still here. I'd be all over it if it was a 5'er.

That buckeye is killer. Sweet bass!

Somebody better hurry up and buy the bass before the heat and humidity ruin it!
Seriously, if you can store it at someone's house who does have working A/C, that would be a good idea.

BecDeCorbin · Sep 19, 2018

It’s already at the next door neighbor’s house, along with a couple others.

BecDeCorbin · Sep 20, 2018

And sold

Acoustic356 · Aug 4, 2021

I missed this opportunity… and I’m waiting (patiently) for it to come back around…

emjazz · Aug 4, 2021

I was just at Martin's and he's building another with this double cut shape for someone...and it looks GORGEOUS!

Acoustic356 · Feb 19, 2022

Still patiently waiting for this one to come back around...
