Hi All
Im looking for a builder to take on the following -

7 string
fretless
Piezo only (abm bridge)
Cocobolo and maple or maple and ebony

Im very open to ideas, this will be my third custom bass, so Im trusting of a good builders ideas.

Build time is not important, a visually stunning, organic sounding fretless is
Cheers
Alex

Get your bridge now because ABM has closed its doors.

An alternative is Hipshot with RMC saddles if you do not seal the deal before ABM stock disappears.

Fred Bolton of Bee Basses built a very nice 8 string fretless piezo-only for Paul DeLano. The sound clips he posted gave a very good impression. That one uses the GraphTech Ghost piezo system IIRC.
