\"SBC<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re checking out the SBC Guitars SH1B Falcon, which is a custom headless bass designed with bassist Calvert Stephens<\/strong>. The six-string bass also has a multi-scale neck stretching from 35 inches to 31.25 inches as well as an asymmetric chunky neck profile. The profile was custom carved with Stephens to aid with RSI injury. <\/p>\n

SBC built the Falcon with a five-piece neck of black walnut, padouk, and wenge with swamp ashy body wings. Its fingerboard is ebony with padouk and abalone detail. Other features include Bartolini pickups, a Bartolini buffer preamp, and 3-band EQ, and ABM hardware. <\/p>\n
