This week we\u2019re checking out a jaw-dropping six-string that was sent in by Tyler D. <\/p>\n<p>This Ubiq bass is built by CG Lutherie and has several special appointments. The custom-build was made for a customer with a holly body made from French Basswood and finished with real gold leaf in a light \u201crelic,\u201d the luthier says. <\/p>\n<p>Its three-piece maple has a flamed maple center and is multi-scale spanning from 34 inches to 35 inches. Its fingerboard as well as the height-adjustable pickup cover and ramp are ebony. CG Lutherie marked its 24 frets with mother of pearl dots and luminlay luminescent dots on the side of the fingerboard. <\/p>\n<p>The electronics section is also particular. This Ubiq has two French-made Crel soapbar pickups that are wired in parallel. You\u2019ll notice there are no knobs \u2013 only a switch selector for toggling the pickups. Additionally, there is only an XLR output in lieu of a standard 1\/4-inch jack.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the bass has a headless tuning system made by Mera.<\/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\/2021\/12\/CG-Lutherie-Gold-Leaf-Ubiq-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\/2021\/12\/CG-Lutherie-Gold-Leaf-Ubiq-Bass-End-of-Fingerboard-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\/2021\/12\/CG-Lutherie-Gold-Leaf-Ubiq-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\/2021\/12\/CG-Lutherie-Gold-Leaf-Ubiq-Bass-Body-Back-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 -->\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-nav -->  <\/div>\n<p><!-- .carousel-sync-wrap --><\/div>\n<p><!-- .section --><\/p>\n<h2>CG Lutherie Gold Leaf Ubiq Bass Features:<\/h2>\n<div class=\"post-callout\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I always love when fans send in basses that get them excited.
