WOW, I've been wanting one of those but at 8.5 lbs it's too heavy for me.....

Checked out some Matt Garrison vids. Came across one of him playing with Federico Malaman (nice jam on Cantaloupe Island), who was playing a strange looking bass. Did a search and came up with the name "Laurus." Searched that here and found this. Don't know if it's still available, but a bump anyway for a WILD looking bass! Crazy! 30" scale seems really short, but I can't get over the body on that thing.

This bass is awesome and needs a home so I'll reduce the price to $1099 or trade for a 5er, 6er or micro amp.

MORE pictures available - I have a whole gallery of pictures that shows every aspect of this instrument - send me your email address and I'll forward them to you

It is hard to believe that this instrument is still here, but then you have not bumped the thread in months....
Wish I could take this from your hands. Best of luck with the sale.

Is the finish on this bass towards the Alembic or the Wishbass side of things? Where did you get strings?
