Not $4k... and Rev planned on doing that from it's very inception. That's why it was build with a flat top;)

The single Bart in the sweetspot sounded excellent. It's also a passive setup.

Are those pics of his girlfriend or wife? They don't appear to be "girlie" pics. I've gotta check out this guy's music- looks the part of a punk with the tats, hair, and pick, but is playing a five-string fretless.

Good eye but no... the bass that Kevin Walker was playing was his purpleburst Brubaker Xtreme 5. I think there might be a pic of it in a recent Bass Player magazine.

Thanks for clearing that up. I saw that bass and had a hard time recognizing it. Kevin wasn't lit very well and the bass was dark, so I couldn't really make out the headstock or body shape. When I opened up and saw that picture it all came together though.

Yeah, it was dark back on that section of the stage. He's usually up front. I was watching the show on a large HDTV and if I didn't already know what it was I'd be asking too.

Metal... and as much fun as he is, he's a serious bassist. Just found this link to a recent interview: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

BTW they're Britney Spears pics. He made that clear from the beginning and it was part of the design process. Apparently he's done that with a few instruments.

He plays upright and Warr guitar too.

Hi
This is a work in progress but you get the idea.
Cheers

Many thanks guys.
There is just a little more carving to be done on the neck heel and the usual pile of sanding then of to be sprayed. It is hard to tell from the pics but the fret board has semi-tone markers in it in pear wood. The fingerboard is acrylic impregnated birdseye/fleck maple from Larry at Gallery. The hardware will be in black Hipshot type a and ultralites with my own pickups and pre-amp.
Cheers
Alan
