Here for sale we have a Custom-Made Super J Bass. Made by Warmoth in the USA, this guitar was custom ordered, and features a high specification and some rather unique appointments. A bolt-on construction is employed and comprises a Maple body with 5A Quilted Maple top, Wenge neck and 22 fret Goncalo Alves (Tigerwood) fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted including a Hipshot 5-String Tremolo bridge and Schaller BM Lite tuning machines. A pair of Nordstrand pickups are installed, with a 'Big Single' in the neck and a 'Big Split' in the bridge. These are wired to an on-board active preamp with controls for master volume, blend and a stacked 2-band EQ.
The Wenge neck plays fantastically well, with a profile which might be described as a 'D' shape. This offers comfortable playability across the register, with a nicely flattened area to the centre rear which promotes ergonomic thumb positioning as well as providing easy reach across the register. The Goncalo Alves or 'Tigerwood' fingerboard is comfortable under the fingers whilst being striking in appearance. The Wenge of the neck is very tactile, with the open-pore grain of the wood feeling very pleasant under the thumb and facilitating smooth navigation of the 34" scale. The tremolo bridge is surprisingly easy to use, with a nice light action considering that it is under so much tension.
Amplified, this bass produces a wide range of sounds thanks to the pickup combination and on-board preamp. There is great fundamental bass tone as soon as you plug in, with deep rumbling lows and snappy highs which capture the attack of your playing. The neck position delivers plenty of roundness and power, whilst the bridge pickup brings brightness to the sound. The on-board preamp provides comprehensive control of your sound right on the bass, allowing you to dial in the perfect tone for wherever the gig takes you. A very well appointed & high quality bass that is sure to stand out from the crowd.
