LeCompte STSS-10

Yeah, that's right...10!...as in double course, octave. This bass was recently completed and shipped out. It features a black limba body with a Pau Ferro top, maple neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, Nordstrand pickups and preamp, and a Leo Quan bridge. We started with an STSS-5 as the basis and adding another five strings. It was a challenge to design build, but it came out great. It's got a great big octave tone and I was surprised how easy it was to play fingerstyle, since that's all I play. It was commissioned by a member of out outstanding military. We were glad we could build it.
