2010 Guy Cole

I just purchased a new Guy Cole. I played a lot of basses on my search for a new instrument, and this bass had a great sound with fantastic playability.

At orchestra rehearsal 2 nights ago a section member said "It's like driving a fine European automobile. Effortless and very fun."

If you guys have any questions ask away! I just thought I should share, because there isn't much information about this maker on the internet.

Beautiful bass! And an interesting shape? Did Guy model it on another bass? I have heard the name Guy Cole, but haven't seen any basses by him. Congrats on the purchase!

It's modeled after a Giovanni Dollenz owned by Aaron Robertson. I have more pictures but I hit the limit after these 4. I also have high resolution copies of these pictures that I can host through another site if anyone is interested.

The bass looks beautiful. Nice looking piano too, I like the brown stain.
