Evil Eye: Hollow Body Electric Bass
Dave’s Take: When I set out to build this, I knew I wanted it to have that cool 1960s hollow body bass sound. I couldn’t think of a better pickup for it than the BiSonic that they used to put in the old Guild Starfires.
This instrument is part of a set. Take a look at the matching acoustic guitar and ukulele .
