SCOTT'S PLACE
Bass Guitars
Updated 22 April 2006
Satin and silky smooth, three pickup fretless jazz bass:
USA neck and body. The bridge and middle pickup are dual coil; the neck pickup is traditional vintage single
coil. Really handsome -- plays and sounds tremendous. I made this for a guy who cancelled his order. It's
yours for only $600
Really cool 60s Moserite Combo copy:
called the "Royal Artist" but
at Subway, it's called the "Royal Fartist." Gives a big, deep woofy sound. $350
Weird 5-string bass:
we put on Alemic pickups and a Bartolini
pre-amp. Really has that low-B piano tone; rich and thick. Clean. $900
60s-style jazz bass
$225
Ivory body,
tortoiseshell pickguard, 60s vintage-type pickups

Dave's
Bass
Subway re-creation of a tele bass using n/o stock pickup
and pickguard. The neck is beautifully flamed, light-weight ash body.
The push-pull pot on the tone knob goes from a full-bore series, deep
fart-in-the-bathtub sound to the coils in parallel with cleaner, low
impedence voicing.

funkster wanted to be a strat, but his chromosomes turned him into a 3
pickup jazz bass. Bird's-eye Warmoth fretless neck with ebony
fretboard. $650

Kings.
Masterbuilder Chris Powell (left) shows off three of
