Nice bursts! And I love the blocks on the fretted.

Nice bursts! And I love the blocks on the fretted.

The funny thing is, burst and tort are pretty much my least favorite. But that fretless was a great b-stock floor model deal, and something about the one with blocks just grabbed me.

2020 SB-1, Okoume wood body, black block inlays and custom leather orangish Snakey strap. Nobody nowhere will pull the same bass or strap out and I like that. Rock on my, my bass Brethren and Sistren

Love the blocks!

For me, the MFD-equipped Kiloton 5 does just about everything or more than 90% of everything. Can get the pbass thing in single coil mode with wide open tone or tone rolled back, can get the Stingray in parallel with tone up, can get front pickup j tone with the volume and tone back in the single-coil or parallel modes. It can be an enormous monster in series mode, but if you roll the volume and tone back, it's beautiful and thumpy. It's the most versatile bass I own and has the best neck I've ever played. Imo, ymmv.

Pic because why not.

Is that bridge gold or am I hallucinating (again)?

Thanks man - yes you got it:

• Old School Tobacco Burst
• Alder
• Indian Rosewood Fingerboard
• Pearl Block Inlays
• Tortoise Pickguard
• Chrome Hardware
• Medium C 1 1/2 in

It's a great bass.I think it's super versatile. With rounds and understanding how to use the tone and volume to tame the MFD, that bass really covers a ton of ground. And that finish has this dusty rose sorta tint that I'm not sure the pictures reflect.

Here's a couple from the original listing.

It's chrome actually, light reflexion from one side makes it looking like gold...
Gold hardware would have been a wonderful option, but I bought it from a shop, too late for any option...

First gig last night with my new Kiloton...second set someone had been drinking so heavily he collapsed in the middle of the pub, then three separate fights broke out as people argued about how best to care for him, then the police and paramedics turned up...on the plus side I love the Kiloton, I'm not great at describing tone but it sounded rich and powerful, I think it is now my number one. I wonder if there's much sonic difference between my Tribute and a US model?

Man, killer bass I love it, congrats !! I hope to eventually get the same, maybe an SB-2, but with a matching headstock. Rock on !!

Not sure about sonic difference, but there are other differences. I've got a kiloton tribute I love.
But I got an option order SB-2, and now my poor kiloton doesn't get so much use because the neck on the SB-2 is just 'chef's kiss'

Given the journey that bass had to take to get to you, its good to hear that time has proven it all worthwhile

Red and black is a hell of a look!!

Hmmm do I need a Kiloton 4 with block inlays?? All these pics are making me think about it.
