Mouse 30 Walnut Short Scale Lined Fretless Bass #1558

This stunning bass features a beautiful one piece, semi-hollow swamp ash body with a gorgeous, highly figured black walnut top. In addition to the curly grain, there is also very nice color variation, from coffee with cream, to chocolate tones…The 30” scale neck is also made from black walnut, and features and aged Indian rosewood fingerboard and matching bridge. Older timbers season over time, become more stable, and more resonant as they dry out and age. The rosewood on this instrument is from stock that is over 35 years old, perfect for instrument making. The fretless fingerboard features maple lines inset where the frets would have been, allowing ease of intonation.

I really like this wood combination overall, as the swamp ash is clear with a fast attack, and the walnut also has a fast attack, but is warm with great mids at the same time, so it makes a nice punchy sounding bass that is still very full.

A form fit custom made hardshell case (made locally in Los Angles) rounds out th package.
