Sander De Gier shared this custom version of his Bebop model on Facebook and it stopped me in my tracks. The luthier wrote a great explanation of the bass, so we\u2019ll let him tell it. <\/p>\n

\u201cSo much to tell about this bass,\u201d he writes. \u201cThe customer wanted something unique and it had to be the ultimate slapbass. It features a hollow hard ash body, with f hole in the arm bend. Three custom pickups, wound for punch, each with a selector switch. The 4th switch is series for neck and bridge. Controls: vol tone bass treble (our 70s pre). Yes that\u2019s passive treble roll of and active treble boost. The 3 pickups give you many cool mixing options for all varieties of slapsound you could want. The neck is 1 pc santos rosewood. Inside are carbon rods and a dual action trussrod and yet it\u2019s a 1 pc neck. Special trick. I have built hundreds of basses but this was something else.\u201d<\/p>\n
