Brubaker Brute Club

[Brad Johnson]

Yeah, after re-reading his post, that's what it sounds like. Crap . . . I had totally convinced myself that I didn't need a singlecut Brute . . . but that is just tooooo coooool!!!! And with soapbars too!! Why, why, why is he doing this to us?

It should be a very good NAMM show.

I hope there is a single cut with a headstock , I'm really not to fond of the headless bass's. I've had a couple and both had this weird vibration on the lower portion of the fingerboard while playing that I couldn't get used to.

Like I was saying, that was a total surprise. The headstock model would be the norm, with MJX setup.

The headless prototype was also made of Northern Ash. Hefty. That's what the six in my avatar is made of and it's amazing. I doubt that would be the standard wood... but that with a decent set of soapbars and that neck joint sounds like trouble to me.


Kind of surprising how much shorter the bass is without the headstock, which isn't very large to begin with.

Yeah I hear ya the brute is real compact to begin with, so I can imagine the size of it headless. It's going to be a very good NAMM show for sure . Kevin is really doing some cool stuff

Wow, that singlecut has me thinking. With a rosewood board (and a headstock ) I may just have to pick one up.

Hey guys the single cut headless is mine!

I'm a headless guy, and this is a great NAMM sample. If you wan't pics of the regular single cut Brute, PM me with your email address. I prefer not to post them until after NAMM.

That headless is freakin' awesome. It's a shame most people don't realize the advantages of headless designs and it pretty much went away when Steinberger did.

WHAAAAAAATTTTT!

Today I learned of headless SC Brutes at the NAMM show. Yesterday I learned that In-N-Out burger is going to have a full size semi truck full of burgers at NAMM...

Now I am SO upset that I wanted to save money and stay on the east coast this January!

Here are two of the NAMM show Burst Brutes, as seen stealthily in another pic posted by Brad here...

 

[johnnybass01]

Wish there was more than one of the singlecuts that way I might have a chance of bringing one home from NAMM with me.

Hang in there Johnny, I'm not sure how many will be there....

 

[johnnybass01]

Hide one for me!!!!!! LOL EITHER WAY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING IT. i was doing a lot of tracks with my number one brute with bartolini's . but last night threw down some tracks with my new stock JJX5 and everyone liked the tone better than my other one said it has more grind and grit.

34". I measured the prototypes just to be sure.

 

[Rosebud]

Hey, are the "burst" brutes going to be avialable as a series, sorry, if it's already been mentioned, I was too busy dreaming about the exact same thing...
