This Meloca Upscaler Bass packs a big punch from its Maydevale P Bass pickup!
This Meloca Bass has a 2 piece reclaimed Spruce body with a dark blue Shu Sugi Ban finish. The spruce has amazing sustain and reesonance and the notes ring out for days.
The Neck is 34” scale made from maple with a rosewood fretboard and is actually from an old Harley Benton Jazz bass, but it has been stripped and given an oil finish. The frets have all been dressed and rounded and the fretboard has been cleaned and had new brass mosaic inlays added.
Hardware consists of a recycled chrome bridge with brass saddles and a set of chrome Squire Jazz bass tuners.
Electrics are all brand new with cloth covered wire, CTS pots and a Mallory Yellow capacitor and the P bass Pickup is a high out put number from Maydevale. It has been mounted in reverse and wired so that it can be either parallel or serial via a push pull on the tone control.
A subtler instrument visually, but it packs a punch and that parallel to serial option gives a significant volume boost if you need it for a solo.
