After some heavy consideration, I have thought about how to get some of the basses out to different parts of the country! Trying to figure out how to send maybe six basses to key geographic areas to willing bass players be played and shown. Any Ideas?

I would be more than willing to help show it off backing up the folkies during Music PEI and the holiday season...
of course that's a whole different country....
I just got the confirmation that the guys from Rigel are going to be at the Farmington Valley Guitar Show March 31, 2012. Pete and his team are going to have the basses there so people in the northeast can experience them . Check out the shows sure for details
Just joined Talkbass today looking for more info about a cheapo AEB I bought online and am waiting for... and am so glad to have come across this thread about the Rigel.
Pete - congratulations on creating the Rigel, it looks and sounds great, I wish I could take a drive over to play one... maybe I'll take a detour if I go to the Montreal Jazz Fest this summer! (I'm in Toronto.)
I wonder if, since the neck is relatively easy to remove, would it be simple to buy a fretted and a fretless neck and swap 'em?
I'd like to find out about the cost of the Rigel, I was really keen on the Takamine TB-10 but $2500 is way too much for me! Whatever it is, I promise if I get it, people will see and hear it!
Again - well done!

Happy Birthday Pete Langdell! Pete's an old friend and a great builder. He's really working hard to make the best ABG in the world. Everyone buy one today!

The show was a huge success. we spoke with over hundred people and out the bass in so many hands. Got great feedback and some appointments to show the bass privately
A few more friends of the Rigel Bass have welcomed to the fold. And we are adding people rapidly. Quick word of encourage ment to Tom Cousin, call Pete with questions regarding delivery times.
They will have to post pics here....I believe that's an actual requirement to own the bass.
