I just saw what seems to be that very same Kydd bass on Reverb. KYDD Electric Upright Bass | Reverb

Thanks!

Hi. I have read somewhere that some headless basses don't get along well with flatwounds in that the clamping mechanism causes the strings to unravel. Is that even a concern with NS Design Radius basses? I only use EB Cobalt flats on my Stingray, and I wanted to make sure I could use them on...

LMK if you’d like some more pics. these were just ones i happened to have on my phone.

Hi. The Sadowsky is translucent red over alder. It’s a deep/dark kind of red. I’ve never seen another one like it.

Hi cuth, I finished the installation of the Lazen B90. It sounds terrific! The HB mode is a vast improvement over the same in the Gibby BassBucker. It is punchy, clear, not at all harsh, and warms up/sweetens up by rolling the V to 8. I had found the stock pickup to be largely unusable because...

Hi. I recently went with this mod too, but I haven't installed it yet. I've been happy enough with the Gibby pup in single coil mode, but in HB mode, I find that it doesn't have any character. I'm expecting that the LazenB will be a big improvement all around. I'm looking forward to hearing...

Warmoth unlined fretless 4-string (new build) I assembled this recently (January 2023) and have played it just enough to tweak the setup. It was a fun (and long) project - arguably my best Warmoth build to date. Since I started this project, I have decided to go all-in on short-scale basses. I...

Sadowsky MetroLine RV4-21 - Made in Japan (2011). Translucent Red finish on alder body. This bass is in excellent+ condition and all-original. Used in home studio with flatwounds. The black pickguard actually is custom-made aftermarket, but I have the original pearloid one as well (I just happen...

My Subway 1-15 fits perfectly in the back seat of my Subaru Legacy. Bass goes next to it via the trunk with the seat folded down.

Absolutely- well put!

UPDATE: I just got a PM from Andrew Drake himself. He wrote to let me know that the top is figured Myrtle, not Maple as I had originally posted. He also wanted me to tell anyone interested that if a buyer were to send him the bass, he will inspect it and can re-certify the warranty (if there...

Hi. Just posted a couple of clips. First one: bridge pup, tone rolled off; Second one: both pups, tone ~50%

Sure - I can post a couple of songs I recorded with it tonight.

Drake M-10 Semi-hollow in MINT condition. This bass is hand-made by Andrew Drake (Iowa). Roasted, quarter-sawn maple neck (one-piece, bolt-on) with 33" scale, Richlite fingerboard. Body is Basswood with a beautifully figured Myrtle top. The flame is nice, but it's all of the articulated...
