A Shout Out To Oscar Prat

[JAUQO III-X]

And more.

 

[Jazz Ad]

It looks bigger than you. And beautiful.

 

[JAUQO III-X]

And one more.

 

[JAUQO III-X]

It looks bigger than you. And beautiful.

It's a very intimidating looking instrument to say the least.

 

[pilotjones]

Beautiful instrument!

It looks like the pairs of saddles for the octave strings are not intonated the same. Why is that?

 

[JAUQO III-X]

Beautiful instrument!

Thank you.

That pic was taken when I was was in the process of intonating the octave strings.

Whoa, that looks great, Jauqo! Hope you bring it out to the space and I get a chance to make a fool of myself on it.

Thanks Greg and it's at the space right now. Just give me a ring next time you're in the building.

Jauqo,
your build was the first I have seen of Oscars work. He may be my favorite builder since I discovered your build. The only bad thing about his is that, his work makes mine look very amateur(which it is). One of these days when I am rich and famous I will have me a Prat bass.

Oscar's instruments are of the highest quality and one with experience can see that he puts a lot of passion into what he does.

One of the things that really blew me away about my 15 string was the fact that Oscar had never built such an instrument and it seems from the overall quality that he has made many multi course string basses.

Will do,sir.

That is a serious bass you should send a picture to Bass Player magazine wow now that's a grown $&@! man's bass.

Bass player mag could care less that this bass belongs to me.

 

[Ben Lesser]

That's a heck of an instrument. It must sing.

Love it.

 

[Adam Wright]

I sent in a deposit to Oscar last month for a single cut 5 string. 1st rate guy. You can tell the he loves what he does and his communication has been awesome.

Thanks Ben and it really does sing.

Adam you couldn't go wrong in any way at all with Oscar, even if you wanted too.

 

[Thomas Kievit]

Would be a pain in the *ss, changing all those strings.. How's it for the string gauges?

No not at all and I'm use to it.





The gauges are fine.

 

[smperry]

Wow, that's amazing. I've toyed with the idea of getting a bass with octaves, so I'd love to hear this one sometime.

 

[epsmith]

Very cool. Is the passive Villex controls you got there vol, vol, bass-mid-treb? Curious about this system, not much info on his website, was thinking of trying my hand at another build in the summer and contemplating giving this passive system a shot...
