Jamerson just stretched the band between a finger and thumb, and even then only plucked with one.

For give my ignorance, but who is Jeff? I'm guessing the builder, but Jeff who?
Interesting bass. I'm jealous. Lots of useful switches there for producting all kinds of tones.

Fantastic bass! A work of art and an excellent choice of pickups!
Tell me, why did you choose to have two 'two way' switches for each pickup, when a single three way on/on/on could have given you series/single/parallel configurations? Can you choose between which single coil with this config?

I think that is an amazing piece of work. I've never had the chance to play a fanned fret bass, not sure if I'd like it, but on sheer craftsmanship that is beautiful.
The preamp "blend" isolates either pickup at 100% to a 50%-50% bridge/neck.
As far as fanned fret... this is my only ff bass experience, and it is awesome. I totally refute any person claiming ff as difficult to play. Fretting chords and arpeggios is waaayy easier than an even scale bass.

The builder is Jeff Head in Georgia ' he is also building a custom 4 string and almost done with my Daughters "Dragon Bass.".........here is a link to his site. Link Removed
We love his work and are looking forward to receiving it later this month.. To answer that question, pick up a bass and try reaching above the lowest string. You'll see that you can actually stretch up to twice the width of the fretboard or more. Hence, hitting the low B should be quite easy, especially as it's not the lowest string. That would be the F#.Looks spaceship to me
Two-wood fretboards really makes me GASsing.
Always wondered: Do you able to play a low B at the 5th--9th frets? Big hands needed i believe
Killer bass man, versatility at its finest.
Higher F above G? That wouldn't make too much sense.
From low to high, it is most likely tuned: F#, B (like the low B on a five string), E (standard low E), A, D, G, and then either a high B to be tuned like a guitar or a high C to keep all strings in perfect fourths.
