This week we\u2019re checking out a cool custom bass from Gamma Bass Guitars called the \u201cStarburst.\u201d The one-of-a-kind bass features hand-painted artwork by Julie Rosenberg, who says she has \u201calways been drawn to bold color and geometric style design.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKandinsky\u2019s musically inspired masterpieces captivated me at a young age,\u201d she writes on her website<\/a>. \u201cThe reason I painstakingly hand paint each guitar body, as opposed to spraying paint, is because of the hand-to-eye, muscle-memory, tactile features that come along with this process. The effect is time-liberating, not time-consuming, and multi-sensorial. The deliberate use of clear pickguards and control plate covers invite viewers to peek into the guitar\u2019s harmonious inner workings \u2013 wired metallic elements and circuitry \u2013 that collaboratively along with the ensemble of parts and hardware work with the musician to produce the sound of this amazing instrument.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Starburst was built with an alder body, Canadian maple neck featuring a slim profile, and Indian Rosewood fingerboard. Other features include Gamma Gen 2 vintage-style J pickups and vintage-style hardware. <\/p>\n
