\"CB<\/p>\n

This week we take a look at the D-bass by CB Basses, a custom shop run by luthier Cliff Bordwell. Featuring a Jazz style neck and pickups, the bass is an exquisite example of craftsmanship with its diverse mix of exotic woods. The body is built around a Spanish Cedar core with an Amboyna burl top and Birdseye maple back, each separated by a layer of Bloodwood for accent. The main body woods are all matched elsewhere, as the 3-piece maple neck is topped with a Birdseye maple fingerboard to compliment the back, and the headstock plate is also Amboyna burl. As an added touch, the nut is made of pink ivory. <\/p>\n

Bordwell included Hipshot hardware, with their \u201cA\u201d bridge and chrome Ultralite tuners. For electronics, the bass is equipped with a pair of Seymour Duncan Antiquity Jazz Bass pickups. The preamp is an Aguilar 3-Band EQ, with the knobs configured for Volume, Volume, Treble, Mids, and Bass.<\/p>\n

CB Basses are all custom made to order, so pricing varies. For more info, check out the CB Basses website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
