Dude, that bass is purdy as all get out!

+1 That one is gorgeous too!

Subtle, elegant, I wonder if they're from the same tree? Usually Alder looks tighter and far more bland than those two! Wow.

Maybe it's the native Alaskan in me, but I see NOTHING wrong with fishing!

I love the grain in your bass as well.

Looks to me like George has been pretty careful in his selection of woods doesn't it?

Most likely. Just look at how he tries very hard to match grain with his electronics covers and pickup covers on the BN's. I've always been very impressed by that.

Ostinato,
Here's your custom BN4. I did one with the black grain and one with the regular grain.
Let me know what you think.

Black grain enhancement, all the way! That looks awesome!

My last post before hitting the road and being off line for a couple of weeks.....

.... that is a VERY nice looking bass also. It's amazing, as you point out, how much care goes into the finishes and wood selection on this level of instrument. Really nice!

+1, I love those VF5's...Tony's all black one in the classified's is killing me. Vic's is also fantastic looking. These are great looking basses.

Quadzilla · #**612** 02-10-2009, 08:09 AM

I was looking through one of my Bass Player magazines and there is a picture of Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith laying on a sofa and holding a blue bass in his lap. Hard to say for sure, but it sure looks like a BN4 to me in the pic. Anyone else seen this pic and agree/disagree?

Dave Hill · #**613** 02-10-2009, 08:16 AM

Yeah, Tom has a blue BN4, and he says in the article is one of his favs. I think he used it to record the "Pump" album(?).

On that note, there's definitely a noticeable difference in his new finish. It doesn't swirl as readily, and it doesn't have that same kinda' "sticky" feel. I'm really diggin' it!

Nice job George!

Here's Tom Hamilton and his BN4.

That has some cool history.
I completed that bass for him and delivered it to his venue in Hamilton, when Aeorosmith toured through here.
I gave it to him that afternoon the day of the concert. I thought he was going just going to check it out and get his tech to set it up etc. and let me know how it was in a month or two.
We were invited for the show and had front row seats (at the bottom of the "runway".
Doesn't he and the band show up at the end of the runway with the BN4, for the first three tunes??????
Blew me away!!!!!!

He had his tech put flats on it. It sounded big, clear and thumpy!!! And he loved it!!!!
He must have played it all afternoon...I guess.

Quadzilla · #**620** 02-10-2009, 02:10 PM

My BN4 is my go to bass. Goes with me to 90+% of my gigs and I've recorded more with it than any of bass of mine in the last couple of years. Somebody will have to pry it from my cold, dead hands one day (until then, it ain't going anywhere!). As you can tell, I really love it. Has two unique features not found on most older BN series:

1 - 34" scale (vs 34.5")

2 - 24 frets
