News from our custom shop: the riwa bass .
A few details:
The traditional headstock features Warwick tuners designed for minimum weight.
The through neck is made of padouk and wenge with an ebony fingerboard. The lower part of the body is made of lightweight swamp ash with a smooth body-to-neck transition for optimum playability.
The ABM bridge is set up for through-body stringing. Active electronics include volume, balance, bass, mid and treble.
The Riwa bass can also be supplied in translucent acrylic.
