Had to my 1992 Stanley Clarke Signature Deluxe since about 2002 (bought used). I love it of course! Would like to get any build details, especially on the woods used. Thanks much... -Bob
Here is a pic of my precious...
Bob,
I only know it's not Zebrawood. :o ;)
Sit tight, one of the members will know the wood and when Mica has the time she will post all of the build info.
My bet is Cocobolo for the top but it is too dark to tell for certain from that photo alone.
Thanks much for the feedback. Here are a few more pics...
Looks more like Walnut.
I will pull the file later today - but this bass is Indian Rosewood top and back.
Mica, thanks much for your help. I never would have guessed rosewood! Is that very common to be used on front/back? .-Bob
At that time it was almost 100% of the Stanley Clarke builds.
Can you recheck this number? When we pulled the file, it was for an Epic bass.
My apologies Mica. Upon much closer inspection, the s/n is: 92 SC7366.
(I miss read the 3 as an 8). -Bob
Hi Bob,

It's possible the original owner replaced the tuners, but the note just says he might, so I'm not sure if he ever did.
