Walnut Twin Pickup 4 String



 
This bass features a 3 piece bolt on neck of maple and mahogany. The body is ash with a walnut top, the fingerboard is Madagascan rosewood.
 
The neck pickup is an EMG 40P, which is essentially a precision pickup in a soapbar casing. I have positioned this more or less in the correct precision position which gives a classic, familiar sound - the bridge pickup is an EMG 40DC for a more powerful, modern sound.
 
The hardware is by hipshot, with both the tuners and bridge constructed from aluminium.
 
Other than that the usual zero fret, 34" scale, 20" fingerboard radius, thin body ( 1.25" thick ) and thick headstock ( 17mm ).
