I know you're sorry to see her go... but I've been there too. You gotta do what you gotta do... I sold my MacBook because I NEEDED some cash to take care of home. My aunt though so much of me doing that, that she gave me her MacBook Pro. Talk about a stunner, was was floored.

I hope you are blessed in like manner!

CallowHill OBS 5 has landed.

Absolutely the best bass I've ever played.

Tim Cloonan is a master builder, a visionary and one of the best blokes you'll ever come across.

You don't get much more down to earth than Tim. Thanks, man.

(For those who are curious, the specs are as follows:
CallowHill OBS5
30" scale comes standard for these
18mm spacing
ash body
flamed maple/wenge neck
aguilar obp-3 pre w/VTC
nordstrand dual coil pickups
oh, and because I'm a massive Gary Willis fan Tim used a few nice touches like the custom ramp, oil finish, Willis style fret markers and ebony headstock face to give it that Willis bass inspired feel)

Apologies for the quality iPhone photography. They really don't do this thing justice. Also, the oil finish feels AMAZING.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Owen took it for a test spin (on the Jimmy Fallon show and performing live) before it got shipped out to me...

Absolute beauty! Visually one of my favorite basses ever.

emjazz · #**170** 08-23-2011, 11:37 AM

Speechless......I really need to get my hands on one of these 30" scale basses.

Stacey1461 · #**171** 08-23-2011, 11:45 AM

That is absolutely amazing, I want one of these....Waiting for the review....

Funkfaker · #**172** 08-23-2011, 11:48 AM

Beautiful. I've been looking forward to pics after seeing it on Fallon. Congrats, Brett!

emjazz · #**173** 08-23-2011, 11:52 AM

Anyone have a link to the Fallon show that this was played on?

jazzcrime · #**174** 08-23-2011, 04:08 PM

You can watch online off the site. 22nd and 25th of July were the shows it was on.

metalstorm · #**175** 08-23-2011, 05:04 PM

Nice Bass! Any chance of a video review?

When I get some time eventually that could be arranged.
Owen Biddle sent me this. I guess you might consider it his review:
"Yo!!!!!!

You'll soon receive the finest instrument I've ever played!! Wow!!! Played it today on the show. Good lord is it great.... Hope I'm not too presumptuous in playing it a bit, but GOD is it good.... Wow. Its coming real soon.

-O-"

Mr. Majestic · #**178** 08-23-2011, 08:24 PM

That is flat out AWESOME!

Hey guys...I just picked up the original MM J(unk) in a trade...I should have it tomorrow, but I'm pretty excited to get it. Just thought I'd chime in on here. Here is a pic:
