Here are a few more photos with the case and an attempt to show the twist. Can't believe there isn't much interest!!! This bass is stellar.

That is a sweet looking bass. I would love to try one of these out, but I have never seen one in real life!

I hadn't either when I ordered this, but had faith in Jerome and his vision & craftsmanship. I was not disappointed!!! It's very easy to get used to the twist of the neck, it is quite subtle and perfectly designed. It wasn't long before I didn't even notice it any longer, SUPER comfortable.

As a very satisfied torzal owner, I can vouch for the quality. Jerome Little is the real deal. I have no doubt this is an absolutely top notch bass.

Don't be hesitant about the twist, it is totally natural, and becomes second nature VERY quickly. These are a blessing for those with any sort of wrist issues, but are very comfortable for anyone.

GLWS. Whoever gets this one will not be disappointed.

FYI: if you have questions, Jerome is very happy to answer anything, and responds quickly.

Thanks! I am really surprised there hasn't been much interest in this bass. Feel free to respond here or PM with any questions.

I've known Jerome since the early 2000's, and I have a J-bird and, believe it or not, the 5 string version of this bass that I'm pretty sure he built at the same time.
Jerome is a bass player, and the attention to detail on his insturments is nothing short of amazing.
The basses Jerome builds are masterpieces, but, meant to be played! I'm kinda curious why you're selling?
I can assure anyone that purchases this bass will never be disappointed in it! If I didn't already have two of Jerome's creations, I would seriously consider this one!

Beautiful build. I betcha it's very comfortable & natural-feeling to play. I wonder if any builders out there have tried a fanned-fret version of one of these? GLWTS

ErikP.Bass · Oct 1, 2017

Not sure about other builders but Jerome has done fanned fret torzals. He's a genius. Check the gallery link in the first post.

Oh there’s interest. As a guy with wrist problems: the flesh is willing, but the wallet is weak.

Incredible bass here folks!!!!

So I’m not trippin! I was looking at that picture confused. What’s the benefit of doing that?

It allows you to maintain a more neutral wrist position. Simple as that.

Check out this great video from Ed Friedland. He does an excellent job of explaining.

Here's the 5 string "sister" to this one..these are awesome insturments, don't sleep on it! If your on the fence, jump on this..

Then how would you know if you had neck twist (more than designed)?
It's like, how do you know when blue cheese goes bad?

steelbed45 · Dec 17, 2017

I have this bass's straight-necked doppelgänger in the same color - I based if off pics of this bass. Jerome builds wonderful instruments.

NAMM bump!!!!

Musicman1901 · Feb 12, 2018

Wow, what an awesome idea! Never heard of this before. Passive setup with volume/volume/tone? Cheese jokes aside I’m thinking along the lines of @Liam Wald ...what if this thing started to twist more. Even just a hair of twist would probably affect things drastically. Maybe I’m just paranoid because I’ve never seen this design and I’m thinking of what could go wrong haha. Gorgeous bass.
