Back - Mahogany

Sides - Mahogany

Finish - Antique Reddish-Brown

Fingerboard Inlay - Dot
Headstock Inlay - Gold Tone / Paul Beard

Neck Binding - Cream ABS
Body Binding - Cream ABS

Nut - Bone

Tuners - Bass Style Die Cast Sealed

Tailpiece - 4 String Dobro Style

Strings Light Gauge Bass


Electronics - Pickup Humbucking with Tone and Volume Control
Dimensions

Builder is Gold Tone, they are specialized in Banjos and resonators. I have the guitar version which I use for slide. It is already incredibly bassy so I can picture how the bass is.

No like all acoustic stringed instruments. I did remove the metal plate and took picture of the bridge.

here is a clip I made with the bass acoustically last year for one of my tutorial videos. It gives a good idea of how it sounds acoustic.
Don't be too judgy please, it was done too quickly and I don't have much experience at producing these things. I'm learning LOL
