5-String Spalted Maple Burl Neck-Thru Bass

The Sukop 5-String Spalted Maple Bass is a custom handmade instrument designed for the discriminating player, made with a five-piece laminated neck constructed from hard Maple, Purpleheart and Black Walnut with a Wenge fingerboard. The neck is reinforced using a steel truss rod cast in epoxy resin to add strength, density and sustain. A heel-less neck-through-body design permits unobstructed access to all 24 frets. The lightweight body creates superb resonance and balance, while a maple burl top adds subtle tonal variations and beauty. It's hand-carved to match the radius of the fingerboard, giving the entire electric bass a constant radius and each string a more consistent feel. This Sukop 5-String Bass features custom designed Bartolini hum-cancelling soapbar pickups with active circuitry, Gotoh tuners, a custom design Dingwall bridge, and a brass nut. Made in USA and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
