Title: (x) Info request for S/N: 92SC7366 [was: 92SC7866]

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

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.

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,

Here's the details from the instrument file:

top: Indian Rosewood
back: Indian Rosewood
body: Mahogany
accent: Maple
neck: 5-piece Maple and Purpleheart
scale: 30.75" short
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
pickups: Alembic AXY
controls: "Signature" volume, pan, filter x2, Q-switch x2, mono output
originally made for: Washington Music, MD
birthday: August 27, 1992

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.
