You won’t be treading water with the Slack Tide Cove Bass. This solid body bass guitar is the little brother to the original hollow Cove bass. Same unique but familiar shape but with a simpler design. I take away the binding but add the option for a milk paint finish. I love working with milk paint because it’s similar in spirit to one of the reasons I use oils. Milk paint will tell the story of its players life over the years. Slowly over time you will start to see where you picked, or placed your arm, or where the guitar sits on your lap. It will very slowly and subtly start to patina naturally over time based on your usage. This will tell the connection and story the player has with the instrument. All the hardware is Guyker and the pickups are Bartolini Original Jazz Bass set.
