"Del Fuego"
Devilishly handsome, with a flaming "live edge" neck, this fantasy bass is carved from one solid piece of HRB. With inlaid brass frets, contrasting bridge of spalted HRB sapwood, and black coral tuning pegs, it is mounted on a brass rod, with HRB collar, ziricote base, and topped with a glass dome. This is Old World hand craftsmanship at its best, without using any computerization or chemical finishes.
