Sukop® Sukop Double Cutaway - Used

Sukop uses the finest seasoned, hand-selected woods in the construction of his instruments. The fingerboard on this one is maple and the body core is alder as a platform for the flame maple top. A five piece neck through body laminate of quartersawn hard maple and purpleheart is the foundation of this Sukop bass giving superior clarity and long sustain. It has an oversized 1/4" truss rod holds its own (rock solid means less seasonal movement). The fingerboard is cut to a compound radius, meaning it becomes a bit rounder as you go down the neck. The back of the body is also carved for ergonomics, leading to the "curved" body effect. The heel-less cutaway is awesome, allowing complete unrestricted access to all 24 frets. A silky smooth hand-rubbed oil finish completes the package, providing easy owner maintenance.

Hardware - the bridge is one of the most important pieces of the bass. All vibrations must pass through here. Each string has a separate section made of brass, making each string's connection to the wood more direct. The nut is also solid brass, giving open strings similar tone qualities to those of fretted notes. It is cut with a compensated spacing (even spaces between strings) to provide a more consistent feel. Tuning keys are black Gotoh GB7's. Smooth, precise, reliable, these are industry standard on many quality instruments. Fully recessed Dunlop straplocks are the norm on all Sukop Basses.

Electronics - Less is more. Bill Bartolini provides the highest quality pickups wound to Sukop specifications. These humbucking soapbars coupled with their NTBT preamp will yield infinite tonal variation.
