\"Atticus<\/p>\n

Atticus Lazenby is a bass-building bassist and composer living in Chicago. This marks his fifth year as a luthier at Serek Basses, but he\u2019s just started taking commissions for his own basses. Today, we\u2019re sharing his \u201cConcept 001,\u201d which features an astounding ergonomic design. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s called \u2018Concept 001\u2019, partly in reference to the car-inspired design vocabulary that I incorporated at the request of my client, and partly to allow for the possibility of continuing to make customized one-off instruments in the future,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m not going to say that it\u2019s the first of many, as there are other more production-friendly designs that I\u2019m currently working on, but the door is ajar.\u201d<\/p>\n

This six-string headless bass has a multi-scale neck that ranges from 32 inches to 30.5 inches and is tuned EADGCF. The neck, which is made from roasted flame maple and reinforced by carbon rods, has a compound radius Richlite fingerboard holding 26 frets. Lazenby used high-visibility aluminum ring inlays for fret markers, matching them with a raw aluminum pickguard.<\/p>\n

Its three-piece body is a sandwich of maple, alder, and maple. For electronics, the Concept 001 is loaded with a pair of Delano JSBC 6 HE split-coil soapbars. Finally, the headless hardware includes individual black anodized headless bridges and headpieces from Nova Guitar Parts.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re interested in lightweight headless basses that will fit in a standard guitar gig bag and sound super loud and clear (thanks, Delano!) even without a preamp, please reach out and stay tuned!\u201d Lazenby adds. \u201cMuch, much more is in the pipeline, and I can\u2019t wait to share it with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
