Carved Top Shelby TB2 Features:

Carved Top Textured/Lightly Distressed Eastern White Pine Body
According to one tonewood dealer, "Pine sounds like what Alder would if it could." It's loud and punchy.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Flame Maple Neck with Indian Rosewood Fretboard
The flame maple has been finished with a oil/poly/beeswax blend that feels amazing. The rosewood fretboard gives it that vintage, round tone.

Fralin Passive Pickups and Electronics
The pickups are a Fralin Big Single T-Bird set that we have custom made for us. These pickups have a fat single coil tone in a hum-cancelling package. They are based on Fralin's hum-cancelling P-90 design, just without the screw slugs, giving them a smoother attack. They have definitely become our new favorite pickups. The electronics feature a traditional volume/volume/tone passive set of controls.

Leo Quan Badass Bridge and Tuners
The Badass Bass II bridge has long been a favorite looking to improve sustain. The OGT Mini tuners help add to that with their solid brass posts.

DR Legend Flatwound Strings
DR Strings are a favorite among many pro musicians. These flats give you that vintage, old school tone, and the best part is you probably won’t ever have to change them.

Gator 4G Gig Bag
A pro level gig bag with 20mm of padding to protect your investment.

Light Weight
The bass weighs in at a little over 7 lbs., making those long gigs a lot easier on the shoulder and low back.
