\"Seger<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re checking out a cool six-string bass, but it\u2019s not what you think. Dallas Seger of Seger Guitars posted a six-string version of his DC Bass that doubles up on the low strings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to have a \u2018rhythm guitar\u2019 along with the bass for the E and A but have the D & G plain for playing higher up bass lines like Lemmy or McCartney,\u201d Seger explains of the concept. <\/p>\n

Seger, who builds his instruments in Maine, crafted the bass with neck-through construction. Its maple neck is topped with a cocobolo fingerboard and fitted with swamp ash wings. The pickups are custom made by Avedissian with a humbucker in the back and a single-coil in the neck position, both of which are under T-Bird covers. \u201cThink Rick bridge tone combined with Pbass neck tone,\u201d he writes. \u201cThree-way toggle and master volume and tone both CTS 250K.\u201d<\/p>\n
