Having known and worked with Paul for the past few years, esteemed bass luthier Tom Stenback is in the enviable position of knowing exactly what he expects from his bass, both in terms of the sounds he needs and the feel of the instrument – both of which have been captured beautifully in Paul’s new Stenback 5-string. You get a real feeling that this bass has been tailored, very precisely, to cater for the needs of a bass guitar connoisseur.
