\"Wreck<\/p>\n

Today we\u2019re featuring a gorgeous bass sent in by its owner, Apok Folken<\/strong>. His Wreck Guitars Hope 6 is the second instrument he got from the builder. <\/p>\n

\u201cI had already worked with this luthier from Croatia for an 8-string guitar,\u201d he shares. \u201cSo then o decided to go further by asking him to build me a special bass with some original specs I listed. We worked in collaboration with a team, and Danijel listened and followed my ideas as well as gave me lots of advice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Folken opted for a walnut and alder body with a master grade buckeye burl top. Built with neck-through construction, the seven-piece neck is crafted with padouk, maple, and wenge with a Macassar ebony fingerboard. The bass has three custom Dolezal pickups under padouk covers that are matched to a Bartolini NTMB preamp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis bass has a beast of a sound, loads of punch, devastating attack, and clarity,\u201d Folken states. \u201cIt is not versatile and not easy to dial in, but it has a real personality. It is very comfy to play with, perfect neck shape, and really well built.\u201d<\/p>\n
