Posted by Oteil Burbridge on January 7, 2013 Sukop 6 string

This bass was made for me by Stephen Sukop. He sent it up to me while I was in NYC doing the Allman Brothers’ 40th Anniversary run at the Beacon Theater. I opened the show one night during that run with a solo version of Little Martha using this 6 string. The Sukop has a unique shape and beautiful wood finish. it’s super light, the back is contoured to your body, it’s semi-hollow and has a short scale.
