Luthier Marek Dabek explains that the new model began as a request from fans and came to fruition even through this year\u2019s trials. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur love for simplicity took a part in the design process so the one pickup-one knob was a base of it,\u201d he shares. \u201cI made a retrospection of what brings an old school mood for me and the details of the design became more clear \u2013 a radio-style knob, a surfboard pickguard referring to the 60\u2019s style of design, and ash as a base of the construction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ash body is topped with a slab of oak burl with the oak \u201csurfboard\u201d pickguard over top. Its five-piece neck also sports roasted oak and ash, while the fingerboard is made from bubinga. Other features include a custom neodymium P-bass pickup, a Gotoh bridge, and Kluson tuners. <\/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\/2020\/11\/Stradi-Reformer-Bass-Body-2-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2020\/11\/Stradi-Reformer-Bass-Body-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2020\/11\/Stradi-Reformer-Bass-Inlay-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2020\/11\/Stradi-Reformer-Bass-Back-1000x667.jpg\" 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\/2020\/11\/Stradi-Reformer-Bass-Back-of-Neck-1000x667.jpg\" 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 -->\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>Stradi is known for their beautiful blend of modern and classical elements in their designs, but this week we\u2019re taking a look at a more traditional electric bass called the Reformer.
