| | | | Nathan East's New Bass
Does anyone know anything about a new bass that Nathan is playing? On the Fourplay site there is a picture of him playing it. He mentioned a new bass at the beginning of the Fourplay Concert broadcast on Sirrius, Memorial day Weekend.
It is not the white 6 string that Yamaha built just for him. |

I mean, no doubt it's a great bass, but I bet every bass Nathan owns is great. He can order the best from anywhere. And no doubt it has some very fine appointments, the best pickups and top wood etc, but then so do countless other boutique basses. The overall styling is not unique. So, wondering in all seriousness, what was special about that bass from that luthier? |

That's really nice bass.

Maybe this is "the best from anywhere" as far as he is concerned for the direction he wanted to go with the new instrument.  |

It is not the white 6 string that Yamaha built just for him. | I know about the bass you are referring to. It's a Limited Edition BB NE 2. It is gray as opposed to white and has silver hardware. It has the same pre amp as the BB NE 2, just a different color. I saw Fourplay a few months ago and after the show I asked him about it, and that's what he told me. I then contacted Yamaha, and they knew nothing about it. I have to assume that it is being made in their custom shop but not available from retailers. |

Absolutely beautiful basses too. Just google image Bossa Bass and you'll see the craftsmanship is gorgeous.
Check out this Japanese website that has them: http://www.mikigakki.com/special/spe...hp?Rec_Id=1074 | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
