Doug Wimbish Models DWB1 / DWB2
 January 28, 1999(Doug Wimbish is
the first call of first call New York session bassists. His impressive recording
and performance resume includes bass duties on the original Sugarhill Records,
experimental funk group Tackhead, the hard rock act Living Colour, the Rolling
Stones, and his own band, Jungle Funk.)
The DW's ergonomically designed, 3-dimensional curved multi-laminated maple
body allows the bass to comfortably hug the curves of the player's body while
the extended lower horn provides the bass with perfect weight balance when strapped
on or placed on the thigh. Behind each of the horns are carved scoops, which
allow true access to the upper registers. The neck combines the traditional
feel of a vintage bass from the 60s with a modern, double octave rosewood fingerboard,
which is adorned with pearl and abalone oval inlays. The Ibanez AFR pickups
and a specially designed simple, but powerful two-band DWB EQ were paired to
offer the versatility that a player like Doug demands from his bass day in and
day out.
