Very cool b sting-bump.

Why did they stop doing the all 5 string wrap through body design? That was a great advance for long scale string use. Now its only the B.

Still one of a kind design cool axe.

String it with regular strings - not shorts? How's the string tension?

[yellofury]

my goodness man how many basses do you have?
My head is whirling just trying to figure it out

GOOD LUCK !! wish I had the dough!!

[jsumbi]

Too many my friend. Maybe about 17 left that I need to sell. I guess I'm one of those buy to try type of guys.

Is the string spacing really 16mm? Was that a custom option? because he advertises a 17.5 mm string spacing on his website.

[jsumbi]

You're right at 17.5mm string spacing. I just measured and corrected the post. Must have been a typo.
