Rare Spellbinder Bass is now in stock.

In 1979, STANLEY CLARKE commissioned Thomas Lieber, an instrument maker, to make a composite molded bass (mainly made of carbon fiber).
The Spellbinder Bass was produced in a limited edition of 50 pieces.

This particular bass is #017, which has a slanted front pickup. There is another one (#024) with the front and rear pickups in a one-piece molded case.
The controls are simple layout with volume, tone, pickup selector, and mini-switch out phase, and the out phase tone is perfect for playing melodies like Stanley's. The pickups are made by Thomas Lieber.
Pickups are by Thomas Lieber and pots are by Alan Bradley.

The scale is a short scale with 30.75" frets at the 24th fret, and it is recommended to use a thin gauge such as 30-90.
The eye-catching position markers are ornately crafted with aluminum outlines around the abalone.

The tension guide, bridge, and tailpiece are all hand-machined and molded for a very tasteful appearance.
The machine head uses Schaller's masterpiece M4C from the W.Germany period.
The body and neck are made of carbon composite, which makes us imagine that the influence of STEINBERGER, the most advanced guitar of the time, is apparent.
The smooth shape of the neck heel and jack area would have been difficult to achieve with wood.
The fingerboard is ebony, and two truss rods are built into the neck.

The body is very thin, about 2.5 cm. It was probably designed to be 1" thick.
The design of the neck seems to be influenced by the Stanley model of Alembic, with the neck sticking out from the body, so head drop is inevitable, but the owner did not seem to mind it too much.

There are some paint chips, buckle scratches, and paint cracks near the neck joint, but considering its age, it is in relatively good condition.
There are no problems with playability, and there are no noticeable dents on the frets.

This is one that cannot be put away with the overused phrase "extremely rare item.
You may never find it again.

希少なSpellbinder Bassが入荷致しました。

1979年に STANLEY CLARKEは楽器製作家のThomas Lieberにコンポジット成形(カーボンファイバーを主な素材とした)
ベースの製作を依頼し、50本限定でこのスペルバインダーベースが生産されました。

当個体はその内の ＃017 フロントピックアップがスラントしたスタイルのもの。これ以外にはフロントとリアピックアップが一体成型のケースの収められたもの(＃024)も存在します。
コントロールはボリューム、トーン、ピックアップセレクタ、ミニスイッチはアウトフェイズとシンプルなレイアウトで、このアウトフェイズの音色がスタンリーのようなメロディを奏でる際に絶妙にマッチします。
ピックアップはThomas Lieber によるもので、ポットはアランブラッドレーが使用されています。

スケールはショートスケールで30.75インチフレットは24フレット、30-90などの細いゲージをお使いいただくとよいでしょう。
目を引くポジションマーカーはアバロンのまわりに、アルミニウムのアウトラインがあしらわれた豪華な細工が施されています。

テンションガイド、ブリッジ、テールピースなど手仕上げによる切削で成形された非常に味のある佇まい。
マシンヘッドはW.Germany 期の Schallerの傑作M4C を使用。
ボディー、ネックはカーボンコンポジットとなっており、当時の最先端であるSTEINBERGERの影響を受けているのではと想像させます。
ネックヒールやジャック付近の滑らかな造形は木材の加工では難しいものでしょう。
指板はエボニーとなっており、ネックには2本のトラスロッドが内蔵されています。

ボディーは非常に薄く2.5cm程度。おそらく1インチ厚で設計されたものと思われます。
アレンビックのスタンリーモデルからの影響を感じさせるネックがボディーから飛び出たようなデザインのため、ヘッド落ちは不可避ですが、本人はあまり気にせずに使っていたようです。

所々塗装欠けやバックルキズ、ネックジョイント付近に塗装クラックなどございますが、年式を考えると比較的良好なコンディション。
演奏性に問題はなく、フレットにも目立つ凹みなどございません。

激レアアイテムという使い古されたフレーズでは片付けられない1本。
もう二度と出会えないかも。
