Custom Bass - Andromeda 12 String

Very unique and absolutely rich sounding 12 string bass designed by Rothstein Guitars and Tony Senatore featuring a Mahogany body, quarter sawn maple neck with an ebony fingerboard and double truss rod system. It sounds HUGE! We are pretty sure this is the only 12 string bass on the planet with the Buzz Feiten tuning system. Easy access truss rod adjustment makes seasonal relief adjustments a snap! EVERY SINGLE PART ON THIS BASS WAS MADE IN THE U.S.A.
