\"Cunningham<\/p>\n

Jamaica-born, Australia-based luthier Dwight Cunningham creates some stunning basses, including this gorgeous RLJ-5 Splendour Jazz Bass. The semi-hollow bass features a myrtle and alder body loaded with a Nordstrand Bigman pickup in the bridge position with a split coil in the neck position. <\/p>\n

Its seven-piece neck is crafted from Myrtle, Indian Rosewood, Maple and Mahogany. The lined fretless fingerboard is ebony with 28 fret lines. Other features include a Nordstrand 3B-45 preamp, a Hipshot Chrome D-style bridge, and Hipshot chrome tuning heads. <\/p>\n
