Custom Excel
It was only a matter of time before we were asked to make a custom Excel
bass. Our good friend Adam was looking for a fretless bass. But having played
a medium scale Exploiter bodied Spoiler for years, as much as he liked the
Excel, he really needed the 32" scale length to make the transition to fretless
as painless as possible.
Adam also decided to have the back of the bass in a matching walnut bookmatch.
Instead of the standard aluminum side markers, this bass has sterling
silver ones placed just behind the maple line, indicating finger position.
Other woodworking features include a back laminate of the same fancy Superb
Flame Walnut as the top and inlaid maple fretlines.
