25.01.2022 Hey everybody! Today I present to you this Gilchrist Spartan Bass 5, fresh off the bench! This bass has a stunning Claro Walnut Burl archtop, Black Walnut back and a multi-laminate Wenge/Black Walnut neck.... Outfitted with MEC Soapbar pickups with Active 3 band EQ, an A-Style bridge from Hipshot Products Inc, and a set of Ratio Tuners from Graph Tech Guitar Labs. This beast is built for both speed and comfort! What should be slapped on this first?

24.01.2022 It's been a while. This Custom Spartan was completed in December but had to go into recording straight away, so I get to present it to you all now!
