THE B-BASS

b bass live.JPG

The B-Bass is my new custom signature Bass. I took the letter “B” from my signature for the basis of my design. Below is my original sketch I drew out on a piece of paper before sending it to be made by Meloduende guitars. It is made from aluminum with P/J Bareknuckle pickups and LED fret light markers.
