Toni SBX’s Mockingbird Bass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting with a Mockingbird guitar body and an old bass neck, Toni has rebuilt this bass that you’re sure to love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Toni tells us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a bass guitar I found in the trash over 30 years ago. It’s an Italian Eko. The neck was attached to a guitar body that had been drilled and painted with a brush, and it had guitar pickups and guitar electronics. In short, a disaster that served its purpose in recording the first demo I ever made as a musician, which is why I’ve kept it and am very fond of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body is your Clandestine Guitars<\/a> Mockingbird basswood guitar body. Since the pickup cavities weren’t suitable for the bass, I routed the entire center section and inlaid a piece of zebrawood along with the thin rosewood strips you see next to it. This allowed me to re-route the cavities for the pickups I installed. Afterward, I gave it a French polish finish with blue stain, three coats of wood sealer with sanding in between, and a four-coat polyurethane gloss lacquer finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electronics, pickup rings, knobs, etc. are also Clandestine. It has the original Tokai TWB20 hot rail pickup (from a guitar) and a set of Billy Sheehan’s signature Dimarzio DP146 Will Power pickups. The neck, tuning pegs, bridge, and tailpiece are original.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
