Beau Leopard Basses

Yes he makes some fine instruments and is local to me, well within a half hour or so. Great guy too. If I weren't making my own I'd have him build one for me. I can't say I've played one though, but have seen him play them live, nice modern sound and he can play well too. :)

Just came across a couple of these instruments in a small music shop in Rochester (right at Eastman). Clearly nice quality work and unique in design. The price seems to be overpriced for a luthier that is relatively unknown, but the basses have a nice feel and look. Didn't see any singlecuts in person, just the doublecut, which is pretty angular and not at all butt-like.
