Spellbinder 2001
A reunion between Stanley Clarke and Thomas Lieber spawned the re-imaging of the Spellbinder Bass. Although birthed with the same classic ornamental design – this modern take is no mere remake.
The original intent was to create a platform to launch new electronics and pickup technology. So I created the 2001 Spellbinder Bass prototype. The result was the Original Spellbinder design with a new face, longer scale and a wood sound block construction design.
