This is my exploiter
#84S3208 - 4str - Med 32,  
I love that Walunt wood grain.
At the moment, it is tuned high-to-low { C,G,D,A }

Now THAT's cool. Everytime I see an Exploiter, it's always flame maple. It looks terrific in walnut.
 
Hey is that a David Eden 2 x 10 cab I spy on the top of your rig?

Hey Ernzt,  
great model. You know that the late John Entwistle (Who) played similar shapes of Alembics in SII model? Far more customized (a radically V-shaped peghead is the smallest customizing and amazing use of inlays and woods ) but basically the same. he once posed with that beauty in an old Bass-player magazine. The one with the Entwistle collection. You should see it.

Totally cool grain pattern......I agree with Stoney, walnut does look great!
Thanks,

I got it signed by Stanley Clarke in 2008.   He used a Black Bass like this on his 1985 album  Find Out.

This one is Medium scale , tuned tenor from top down  C,G,D,A .   The one Stanley used in 1985 was Solid Black with white pickups ,, Wicked looking !!!

Very cool! I have heard that he doesn't like to sign instruments, though it can be done - I had him sign the back of mine (SC Signature). Did you do anything to protect the signature?
 
I have also heard that he didn't actually play the black Exploiter on the album, just used it for the photo shoot. Always loved that bass though!

I played a Black Exploiter that had been Stanley's, at the Alembic Booth, at the 1985 Winter NAMM Show. I could have bought it for $1000.00  It didn't have White pickups though!

That black Exploiter Stanley's holding was just a prop it didnt have any guts & those pups were just hollow shells, it was just for promo.
