Regenerator™ 4.1 on the final assembly bench this weekend ...
- Alder body with Candy Apple Red metallic mist finish
- Maple/Rosewood neck with matching CAR headstock and satin finish
- custom split-P pickup set
- Hipshot bridge and tuners
- custom polished stainless control plate (placeholder plate in this image)
- black/mint/black pickguard
this bass will be available in the next week or so once it's completed final set-up and QA
I also have a near identical black version of this bass just about to hit the bench. Outside of it being a different color, the most notable other difference is that it will be sporting a Tort pickguard
also on the bench this weekend is this Regenerator™ 5.2
- Alder body with pine green metallic finish
- Birdseye/Birdseye neck with matching headstock and satin finish
- custom dual coil pickup set
- Hipshot bridge and tuners
- custom polished stainless control plate
- no pickguard (although one could easily be added if desired)
other interesting news for this model: I am now working with a new inlay person here in the local area. it's taken a bit to get this all together, but the first sample I've held was top notch. I have a new lefty build in progress that will be utilizing this new artist (you know who you are
) and the great news is that not only is his work excellent, but my total cost is about $200 less than the artist I was using previously! if the work on this neck is as good as the samples, I'll soon be able to offer blocks or blocks/binding (shell, plastics, or wood) on any of my lefty necks at a very reasonable upcharge. I should have my first neck back in the shop in the coming couple of weeks
all the best,
R
