Hard to tell, it was on hold for a while, but Mike said that its pretyy much wiring, set up, and finito, I'm hoping by the end of the month maybe.

Have heard of several basses being "on hold". What's going on there??

That fortunately for them the business is going strong I guess

I gotta shoot an e-mail to the guys asking what their plans are in the future, I seem to recall that something was being cooked up to replace the GT line, but I may be imagining things.

Haha j/k. Looks amazing man! I can't wait until it's done!

[Discgraham]

That's an amazing instrument! I can't imagine hitting the first fret on the lower strings though. Probably quite a stretch!

 

[Eric Killinger]

I plan on getting a conklin 10 pretty soon, and by pretty soon I mean hopefully in the next three years, I gotta figure out a way to figure out how to get the money.


Also I just realised that two of my bass hero's are members on the board.




Awesome.

 

[Uziel]

beautyfull basse !

why have you deceided to go for a fanned fret ?

 

[oversoul]

To be honest, mainly by curiosity since I had heard nothing but good things about the concept, I do feel that ERBs can benefit from it because of the more natural progression of string feel from bass to treble side (preventing a twangier/tighter feeling high range in comparison to the lower strings)

Recently I have tried a fanned scale bass and realized that this is factual, also think for a moment and realize that a slanted fingerboard tends to go with the natural bending of your wrist while going from on end of the fingerboard to another!
