I got a tip to check out CG Lutherie, a French bass builder, and I\u2019m glad I did. The company\u2019s Sequel bass is an interesting take on a hollow body with multiple sound holes on the bass side of the instrument. <\/p>\n

This 5-string fretless Sequel is built with a black limba body a neck of garapa and rosewood. It\u2019s tied together with an ebony fingerboard, bridge, and tailpiece. The fingerboard has an extended section that runs along the B-string to act as a built-in thumb rest. The only metal hardware is a set of Hipshot Ultralight tuners.<\/p>\n

CG Lutherie rounds the Sequel out with an active piezo pickup and preamp with bass, mid, and treble controls.<\/p>\n
