Talon
Thinking I would never see Firebird again, I built Talon in 2010 as a replacement for the stolen bass. Although the bass is a completely different design, I wanted to include some of the features that made Firebird such a great bass to play. I didn’t exactly meet my goal of a “new” Firebird, but it’s still a nice instrument, and one of my favorites.
Features:
- 4-string fretted bass
- Neck-thru
- 36″ scale
- Mahogany, black walnut, maple, birch
- 7-piece laminated neck
- Fingerboard: Zebrawood
- Adjustable brass nut
- 26 stainless steel frets
- Blue and white MOP fret markers
- “T” inlay at 12th fret
- Hipshot “Super Tone” bridge
- Schaller tuners (3)
- Hipshot “Xtender” tuner (1)
- EMG MMTW pickup w/ VMC midrange control
