How's it going! you're looking at a Winfield Thomas Custom 6-String Bass Guitar Quilted Maple / Triple Bartolinis!


Handcrafted in Melville, New York by master luthier Tom Winfield, this custom 6-string electric bass guitar is a true masterpiece of boutique instrument design. Built for the discerning player who demands elite performance, extended range, and visual elegance, this bass features a gorgeous quilted maple top finished in a striking translucent red that perfectly showcases the wood's deep, three-dimensional grain. In the hands, this custom 6-string bass feels exceptionally balanced and robust, offering a commanding playing experience without feeling overly bulky. The premium multi-laminate neck features a smooth, fast profile that provides structural rigidity under high tension while maintaining a comfortable, ergonomic feel for complex fretboard navigation. Thanks to its precision bolt-on construction, the playability is remarkably snappy, offering immediate note tracking, a lively string response, and comfortable access across all 21 frets. Sonically, this instrument is an absolute powerhouse; the bolt-on design gives it a punchy, articulate acoustic foundation with an aggressive attack and exceptional note definition on the low B-string. Loaded with a rare, premium trio of Bartolini soapbar pickups, it delivers a massive, hi-fi tonal landscape. This unique triple-pickup configuration provides a rich, present midrange that cuts effortlessly through a dense mix, paired with warm, deep lows and crystalline highs, while individual monorail bridge saddles ensure flawless note clarity, separation, and sustain. Cosmetically, this bass is in good used condition, showing honest playwear alongside a few dents and scratches around the body (see photos provided). All of the electronics are in working order, the neck is straight, the intonation is spot on, and the action is excellent. There is little to no fret wear apparent from previous use. This bass has been professionally set up with fresh strings and weighs in at 10 pounds, 10 ounces. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this rare custom Winfield Thomas 6-string bass guitar!!!
