Very cool. I'm honestly a bit jealous. Those tuners are killer looking!

Is that the Maggini copy you were looking at a few weeks ago? Hope it sounds as nice as it looks -what a beauty !

Congrats, that's a nice looking bass!

But I don't see any pictures of you!?

 

[Eric Swanson]

Looks like a serious arco machine. Very cool. How is the E/B string, under the bow?

Congratulations!!!

no. seriously. Is that a one piece back? and i don't suppose you have any 3/4 angle shots of the back right?

also which machine extension is that?

That is a very beautiful bass. Please consider storing it on its side, against the wall or back of the sofa rather than on that stand. Otherwise, I fear heartbreak.

I've used one of those stands for years and never had a problem with it. I would be more worried having my bass leaned in the corner.

Beautiful bass! Hope you get many, many years of playing out of it!

I agree with clink, FWIW. On the side or in the corner. So do the majority of professional bassists I've known for over 53 years.

 

[drurb]

On a stand in a corner is just fine. See here.

I don't have a means to record at the moment

It is an "English" Extension (based on a fawcett is my understanding). It is called an "English extension" in the description papers.

I haven't been using the stand, I've actually been doing as you just said amazingly enough

Looks fantastic! Please tell us more about the bass. Congrats!

Well, to start, it is a slab-cut fir top, willow back and sides and a poplar neck. I will have to get back to you with the measurements although I think my bass has identical measurements to Invalid Link Removed one.
I have a paper describing all the woods, measurements etc, I just need to find it.

Congratulations - that's a lovely bass PRUNEY! If it sounds even half as good as it looks...
