DiPinto Belvedere bass made in 1998. This bass was made while collaborating with Jamaaladeen Tacuma on his second handmade DiPinto Bass. The idea was to make a deeper body than his previous bass. Jamaal owns a similar bass to this except his has an EMG P-bass pickup and a trapeze tailpiece. The pickup on this bass is an old Dimarzio p-bass pickup with a handmade chrome cover. This prototype bass was used at guitar shows and trade shows and shows some wear.
