The dark and dusty tones of Murder by Death are tough to catch, but bassist Matt Armstrong came to the right place to find them. We built him a hollowbody ash version of our Delgada bass with a silverburst finish and a maple bolt-on neck with a rosewood fretboard and four-in-line headstock. Outfitted with active electronics, the bass has no trouble getting the grungy tones befitting the band’s Americana-punk vibe.
