Nice looking bass, but with the US/AUD exchange rate, I won't be buying it anytime soon. $7700US!!!! Let us know how it sounds!

I'm fortunate enough to have the second of these Noyce & Howells--Pete Howell has the first. I'm left handed so it's been important to have a bass that's custom made and I couldn't be happier with it. It costs, but I see it as a long term proposition, and that makes it a great investment. Biggest hassle is finding something to transport it in without paying big dollars--my compromise has been a surf board cover--heavy vinyl, good padding and the right size and shape (with some imagination involved!). Suits me because one of my bands plays surf music!
