Cocobolo Through Neck



A new bass being picked up by it's owner, Neil, at Bassday 2011 in Manchester

Cocobolo Through-Neck Bass





This new bass is the first through-neck instrument I've made in a while.



The neck is maple and wenge, with body wings of ash fronted in a lovely orangey cocobolo.


The neck binding and position markers are also cocobolo.


The pickups are hand wound ( by Wizard pickups in Wales ), and complemented by an extensive control system comprising of two volumes, passive tone control, active 3 way tone controls and the four switches select betweem active/passive, series/parallel and humbucker/single coil.
