I haven't played bass in 20 years. I was at a music store the other day and saw one just hanging there and decided to bring it on home.The Body Assembly… The back and sides are built from ashwood. White ABS binding protects the front and back joints. The soundboard (top) is built from laminate spruce and has a black/white inlay at the outer edge adjoining the body binding. The oval sound-hole has an inlaid black/white rosette in circles to match the body binding inlay. The fixed rosewood pin bridge has a ‘Corian’ saddle.
The body is ‘cutaway’ for easier access to the higher fingerboard positions. EQ System: ‘Timber PLUS’ PreAmp & Shadow pick-up. The Neck Assembly… The mahogany neck has an internally fitted adjustable truss rod. The rosewood fingerboard is fitted with twenty-two silver frets precisely positioned, honed and polished. The neck is fully bound in vintage white binding. Small black side position marker dots are inlaid in the side of the neck binding.
The precisely cut nut is made from cream ABS. The headstock is the familiar ‘Crafter’ design inlaid with the ‘Crafter’ insignia and scroll inlay. The truss rod is adjusted from inside the sound hole. A set of four precision chrome die cast tuning machines with large chrome buttons are fitted for positive, trouble free tuning.

Until tomorrow, happy pickin'.
