Customer Spec Build: Minimalist Hot Wire Inlaw 421 Bass

“I want a bass as simple as possible—but it must sound great.”
That was the brief.
No active electronics. No fancy wood tops. No batteries.
Just a reliable tool that delivers great tone.
For this customer-spec build, we went with our Hot Wire Inlaw body made from Cedro—a mahogany-type tonewood—finished in a clean, matte natural finish. The neck is maple with an Indian rosewood fingerboard, reinforced with two graphite rods for maximum stability and clarity.
The customer preferred our MM-style pickup, but wanted to keep everything fully passive. To add some tonal flexibility without complicating things, we included a series/parallel push-pull switch on the tone control.
And yes—he also fell in love with the Hot Wire Blues Bass headstock.
An unusual combination? Maybe.
But if it makes the player happy, that’s exactly what matters.
Mission accomplished.
