Conklin 11-String "Lava" (!!big pics!!)

[Chris Breese]

Nice woodwork!
I don't get all those strings. What kind of music requires all those strings?
Sorry. I just don't get it.

 

[Hollow Man]

Holy cow, that is insane. What incredible craftsmanship.

 

[Drake Kennedy]

Nice bass

Jean Baudin's music requires all of those strings. Some of it requires more strings.

Hey Jean, I stopped by the shop up in Springfield (20 minutes from my house) and saw this bass in the "being built" stage. It looks awesome now that it's all put together!

 

[Whappo Grande]

Congrats JB! I can wait to hear ya groove on it. Hey... next time you play live do a Michael Manring & play 3 of these basses at the same time.

It's how you get rid of those pesky guitarists.

congrads man

 

[Drake Kennedy]

thats just pointless/rediculous, in a sort of having more-than-one-girl-at-a-time pointless/rediculous way!

Are you saying either one is bad?

 

[AuG]

Interesting for sure.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess....

 

[Nuk3m]

What sort of midi set up do you have?

Whoa! I stand corrected. My bad. Kinda like a piano!

it can rumble the ground and scream out highs at the same time... (drools)

 

[THIRSTYGUMS]

i love the yellowheart neck! WOW, the colours are the best thing about this bass

 

[TBalls]

It's impressive that Bill Conklin can get away with only 5 screws on a neck that massive. Just imagine what Jens Ritter would have done with it....

 

[Pako]

I've probably looked at this bass 50 times since you posted it here.... It is just amazing. It looks like it should be behind glass to be looked at and admired from afar. Oh wait, welcome to the internet.

At least someone gets to get all greasy with it!

Nice bass, and it looks like it was worth the wait.

 

[j-raj]

Love IT!!! Jean, you always have great taste in instruments!

One thing though.... how can y'all keep quiet for so long about some of these wild customs that you have on order and I can't even wait the 5-8 months for a killer 5 string bass to be completed for me?

Man, y'all must have some restraint!

 

[ChiliPepper]

WOW !!! Congrats Jean

btw do you have any news on your solo CD ?
