\"Elrick<\/p>\n

Our pal Sam Montooth recently shared some photos of his new bass on Facebook and it stopped me in my tracks. This Gold Series six-string bass by the inimitable Rob Elrick bass grabs your attention with an exotic ebony top that resembles a decadent chocolate cake. It\u2019s got a lot of other unique features, too, as it is a customized version of the luthier\u2019s SLC model. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a narrow spaced 6-string with a 5-string sized hollow body, but it is 32-inch scale while the SLC is 33-inch scale,\u201d Elrick tells us. \u201cThe pickups are Aero, but they are not the pickups used in the SLC.\u201d<\/p>\n

The custom spec bass is built with a walnut body, quarter-sawn maple neck with a top-matched Macassar ebony face, and Macassar ebony fretboard. Its Aero pickups are matched with passive electronics in a simple Volume\/Volume\/Tone control layout. Other features include Hipshot hardware, pearl dot inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side dots. <\/p>\n
