Details

I had this bass custom made to my specifications in 2018. George and the team did an incredible job with this build. It is truly the most beautiful bass I have seen or owned, and an absolute joy to play. It pains me immensely to sell it, however I am mainly playing my BN5/5 string bass these days and I have decided to sell this one.

Below are the spec's of the build. I am including my own pictures as well as a few that Marcel had uploaded to their Instagram page right when it was built for me.

Gorgeous. I know our friend @ThumbyAche was looking for one but I suppose he's probably already in touch with you!

I haven't been in touch but we are both in Colorado. Unfortunately, like with another TB'er, timing is bad and this is more than I have right now.
No trades and just bad timing as it turns out.

Glwts!

Have you had a chance to compare to an F bass with a maple neck? I’m just curious if this bass sounds a little compressed. Thanks!

Wasnt sure if you are referring to the Fingerboard or fact the neck is 5 Piece Maple/Wenge. I've only played F bass with rosewood fingerboard and maple/wenge necks. I was going for a smoother, warmer sound, which this definitely possesses. The sound is very dynamic and I wouldn't personally categorize it as compressed. When I play either this or my BN-5 with similar specs in a band setting it sounds fantastic in the mix.

GLWTS Scott. I ended up buying one of Frank’s yesterday. It was tough deciding between his and yours. Both so amazing.
