This bass is my most ambitious project so far. Here are the specs:

• 6-string neck-through bass
• Neck core is a 5-piece laminate of shedua, purpleheart, and hard maple
• Single-Cut Body wings will be black walnut with a front and back layer of .030 black fiber, with the top and back of 5/16" bookmatched spalted maple
• Black hardware:
  • Schaller bridge
  • Gotoh miniature tuning machines
  • Black dome knobs
• Carey Nordstrand's Dual-Coil pickups
• Purpleheart and spalted birdseye maple pickup covers
• Audere Engineering 4-band EQ Preamp
• LED-lighted side position markers
• Spalted birdseye maple fingerboard with 1/8" to 3/16" tapered side bindings
• 35" scale x 2-1/8 at the nut, 3-7/16" at the 24th fret
• Dual double-action truss rods with graphite stabilizing bars
• Spalted maple overlay on the headstock
