Description

Geoff’s web site info about this bass:

“As you may know, we recently made Alphonso Johnson a fretless bass, which he is currently playing. This new bass has a killer clear deep blue alder SST body. With an EMG-40DCX in the ‘sweet spot,’ and an EMG-40CSX in the bridge, this thing really sings!”

The SST is Geoff’s modern version of a bass he created years ago at Modulus, the Sweet Spot Turbo.  Using the 40DCX pickup in the ‘sweet spot’ position, you have the classic punch of the M92 and other basses.  When you add 40CSX pickup near the bridge, you get a warm growl.  The blend knob is particularly impressive with its spectrum of tones.
