He made this bass as one of your "Unique Creations" , he didn't make it to a specific person. It was like your 10 Million Dollar Bass project, I think.
t was offered to me because I was wondering to place a custom order , and he just told (through "The Low End") me about it .So I was in the right place at the right moment and he made me an offer. |

Can I ask a question about the bridge?
I don't understand how you can have good intonation on a fretted instrument with a fixed bridge like this. I've never seen the saddles on an adjustable bridge in a straight line like this bridge which leads me to wonder about the intonation. I can see it working fine for fretless since your fingers handle the intonation.
Love the carving on the scroll!
