This SHR-4 has an offset body and neck design for a retro feel while having a fresh style. <\/p>\n<p>The short-scale bass is built with a Paulownia body and a matching headstock plate in a red finish. Its maple neck sports a Pau Ferro fingerboard. LeCompte fit the bass with a pair of his own pickups: a Double Down\/Triple Threat combo. Other features include Hipshot hardware, a laser-engraved pickguard, and a handmade aluminum control plate. <\/p>\n<p>All in, the bass weighs in at just 6 pounds and 4 ounces!<\/p>\n<div class=\"section\">\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-wrap\">\n<div class=\"carousel-gallery carousel-sync-main\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/LeCompte-SHR-4-Short-Scale-Bass-Body-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/LeCompte-SHR-4-Short-Scale-Bass-Body-Back-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/LeCompte-SHR-4-Short-Scale-Bass-Back-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/LeCompte-SHR-4-Short-Scale-Bass-Headstock-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/LeCompte-SHR-4-Short-Scale-Bass-Headstock-Angle-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.notreble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/LeCompte-SHR-4-Short-Scale-Bass-Back-of-Headstock-1000x667.jpeg\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-main -->    <\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-sync-nav\">\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item --><\/p>\n<div class=\"carousel-item\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-item -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bud LeCompte of LeCompte Electric Bass just shared his latest creation, and it stopped me in my tracks.
