It's not the most elaborate bass line I've ever written but it is what the song called for.

That bass is so bad ass. Care to share the maker/model or is it a custom?

I am the maker, built it in my garage. :-) I did borrow the body shape from a Peavey B Quad but the rest is of my own design.

Very nicely done! Like the song and your tone. You're right, your bass line fits that song like a glove, moving when it can, steady when it should be. Great job...

Thanks man, the compliments really do mean a lot to me coming from other players.

Here is a link to some pics of the bass being built. It was started fot the Fretless 5 String competition in the Luthier's Corner but real life help me up and I wasn't able to finish by the deadline.

Just listened to Price, LOVE that tune. Sounds like something Alice in Chains wished they had written...

Can't thank y'all enough for the kind words! We are going back to the studio this weekend (hopefully) to make some final tweaks to the songs and should have the final mix soon after.
