\"Muckelroy<\/p>\n

This week we\u2019re checking out a beautiful six-string Solo model bass built by luthier Brady Muckelroy. Its owner, Chris Taylor, shared the specs and photos of the gorgeous beast. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt plays like an absolute dream and the electronics allow for some amazing tone versatility,\u201d he writes. <\/p>\n

The sleek design features neck through construction with a five-piece wenge, maple, and Ecuadorian rosewood neck. Its body wings are alder topped with exhibition grade Birdseye maple burl. \u201cOn the back side of the neck (body portion), there is a curly ambrosia maple tone block with another pair of the black & white accent veneers to really make the neck-to-body transitional carve pop,\u201d Taylor adds. <\/p>\n

As for electronics, Muckelroy fitted the bass with a pair of custom Kent Armstrong pickups matched to a Nordstrand 3b preamp. Hardware includes a Hipshot A Style brass bridge and Gotoh Res-O-Lite tuners. <\/p>\n
