Bass of the Week: Warwick Custom Shop Jonas Hellborg Signature Bass
Warwick’s Jonas Hellborg Signature model is a stunner, and this recently completed example is no exception. The Custom Shop bass’s body was built entirely from solid AAA flamed maple with a flamed maple neck to match. Its 24-fret Tigerstripe Ebony fingerboard is left without markers except for luminescent side dots.
Other features include a passive MEC Hellborg Signature Lo-Z full range pickup, a 2-piece solid brass bridge, a custom color satin finish, and Graphtech Ratio tuners.
