Dang. I just found this out. RIP Steve you will be missed. Is was for sure a Gentleman, and a scholar. I learned so much from his posts. Sending you and your family love and light Steve.

Love the bridge. Congrats on the acquisition.

Have you used the "Turbotail"?

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to weigh in. I hgave a 32" scale 5 string ABG E-C. Mine was made by the wonderful @Steve Burke . One caveat, t's built with a patented Ovaldi Linden "bass resonator" Here is a video if it being played. Anyway I have onlty used Labella Black Tapes on...

Got my Stambaugh ODB today in a trade. Really love it! It came with the paperwork from when the original owner bought in 2015. Very light, ergonomical, plays lovely and looks fantastic. I am thrilled.

Lines up on the 12th fret.

The upper horn on mine I believe lines up right at the end of fret 12. I'll ask.

Wow that's a sexy bass. I am sure that must be fun to play. That top is gorgeous! I do see what you mean about the upper horn. What pickups are on it? The guy I am getting it from confirmed that my that bass was made in Fall 2015. It has a mahogany body, bolt on maple neck, ebony board, & a...

Thanks for the info. What a beautiful collection. What's the pickup you are using on the pink one?

You did good yonatan1991! I really want to play it!

According to Brian Ritchie ...I am paraphrasing: The extended upper bout of the BJ bass which is above the body and neck of the instrument, are part of its raidcal design, besides the fact that it can be played upright. The extra bout capictates more sound and in turns helps stabilize the...

I had an Earthwood too, I sold it because it was not comfortable. My Emerald Balor, with a med-high action, good (steel/chrome/nickel) strings has good volume and bass resonance. I useit in a string band setting with a banjo, guitar, fiddle and mandolin without any complaints.

He just got another one yesterday. They actually sound very good. I think that concept would work well as a stand up 5 string bass.

Thanks Karl. if o were to get one. And again I am dreaming here, I would sell off all of 2 ABG’s to afford this one. (I would keep the spider) To your point about strings, I can agree that the instrument picks the string it needs, not the player.
