Does he have a site for his basses? I looked up his name and found nothing. I'm really interested in his work now.

Gorgeous bass. I am intrigued. What is it in the sound that makes it suitable for Jazz and R&B? Thanks.

Just under 9 pounds by the old bathroom scale. I find that when I play Jazz or R&B with the bass I keep the two puckups on. It gets a really fat sound but very very articulate. Every frequency is right there and it really punches through the band. The tone really stands out in the mix.
