A beautiful red Shu Sugi Ban body, reclaimed and recycled parts, what’s not to like on this Meloca Bass Upscaler???
This Meloca Bass very much follows the format of our other Upscaler Guitars, with a 2 piece reclaimed Spruce body and a refinished 1990s neck made from flamed maple and rosewood.
The 34” scale neck has been stripped of its thick polyester finish before being reshaped and getting a lovely oil finish. The frets have all been dressed and rounded and the fretboard has been cleaned and had new aluminum and black resin inlays added.
Pickups are from a fender “Made In Mexico” Jazz bass and the chrome hardware is also recycled from a1990s fender
The electrics are all brand new with cloth covered wire, CTS pots and a Mallory Yellow capacitor. the controls are configured with a volume for each pickup and a master tone control
The yellow acrylic tortoise shell pickguard brings the whole instrument together, making it a real statement piece, with great looks and a traditional Jazz Bass sound.
