Little Guitar Works | 5-String Torzal Bass

Jerome Little, Little Guitar Works, Austin, Texas (USA) built this beautiful blue burst Torzal Standard 5-string bass. Maple/wenge neck, wenge fingerboard, swamp ash back & figured myrtle top.

The bass also features TOONE & TOWNSEND bridges. Note these are prototype bridges, fully anodized aluminum, from our beta test program. Jerome liked them so much he asked if they could be used on a client's instrument:

"These bridges sound great, and the look and function is all totally solid, as expected...I've built enough similar basses to immediately recognize what I would characterize as a very pure, clear, open tone, quick response, long sustain."

— Jerome Little (Little Guitar Works)

Jerome has contributed significantly to our test program, and you will see his suggestions on the production bass bridge, most notably as a string slot for drop-in string loads.
