Description
I'm going to be making a push this year with basses by John Suhr. Suhr Guitars are our #1 selling guitar line, and they're fantastic instuments to boot. Their basses are no less exceptional. Between Roscoe and Suhr, I'm confident we'll make a LOT of bass players happy this year!
If you're unfamiliar with John Suhr, he's got quote the resume. He worked at Rudy's in NYC in the early 80's, famously building Pensa-Suhr guitars for the likes of Mark Knopfler, EC, Peter Frampton, etc. Then he moved on to Bob Bradshaw's Custom Audio to create some killer tube amps designs. Then on to Fender's custom shop as a Senior Master Builder where his clients included (and still include) Michael Landau, Scott Henderson and Peter Frampton. It's been over 10 years now since John struck out on his own, and he is now creating some of the finest Fender style instruments on the planet. The product construction, quality, and consistency is amazing.
This particular features a very cool look. The Ice Blue Metallic color is basically a grey-ish blue, but the metallic content in the finish can make it look anywhere from sky blue to silver given the right light and viewing angle. I added a pearloid pickgard to the specs to add even more visual pop. Tonally, this is all jazz bass. It really makes me want to get my Marcus Miller on.
