This is the first $2k+ bass I've seen here that actually looks like it's worth every dollar. I love the thin inlays that follow the body contour, and 26 frets is a unique feature. What a work of art!

What a beautiful bass. I would consider buying it if I could play it first. Too bad you're not within driving distance.

I might come to see you play it if you play in West Palm or PSL. I'd even buy it if I had that kind of cash to spend

That is a beauty. Couple of questions; what does it weigh? One or two truss rods and have you made any adjustments? And can you please measure the width of the neck at the nut and 24th frets?
