Pete Hilton Reverse Scroll 5-String Bass

Description

Absolutely stellar and gorgeous Pete Hilton 5 string bass. From top to bottom this bass is unique, beautiful and displays some of the most exquisite craftsmanship that I have had my hands on. A little bit of backstory on Pete, he studied under the great Carl Thompson and had an absolute passion for making great basses. He recently relocated from the East Coast back to the West Coast and is now making great basses in California. For more on Pete and his art, check out hiltonguitars.com.

The craftsmanship is off the charts with this bass. Super light weight, balanced, the list goes on. Also, recently Pete installed an Aguilar OBP pre amp.
