Probably my favorite kind of bass.... Free. Congrats!!! It just needs a tort pick-guard

I like the way you think.

There are few things in life better than FREE instruments - especially when you like them. Enjoy!

Nice score.
Once you get use to a 5 string the 4's will be a thing of the past. lol

 

[TolerancEJ]

So you're the lucky dude. I hope the Hammersmith treats you well!

I agree. Those Nordy Big Rigs should get you out of your 4 string rut in no time! (cripes! those pickups alone cost more than many of my basses!)
As you can see from my avatar to left I love to replace factory black or white plain pickguards with tort (That one is an SX), but while I'd love your bass in tort, I must admit I actually like the look of the black guard on that one too!

I'd ask you why you say that, but you're suspended so I'm sure its some petulant nonsense.

Hilarious! Congrats! Enjoy your new bass, Aaron!

Y'all ever heard of Andy Irvine and his Daily Funk Club prize giveaway?

Well I have and I joined and I won. I got this sweet ass Hammersmith Bass today and a whole mess of other stuff is coming my way. Shout out to Marco at Hammersmith for the suppling this amazing bass for the drawing.

I'm not a 5 string guy but this one is making change my mind. I plays nice and smooth. Nice thin neck and it sounds fat and warm, dare I say even a little dark, Which I love!!

It's all passive with nordstrand Big rig pickups in it. It sounds like a jazz on steroids. Even with no preamp.

I would have taken more pics but I was to too busy playing it. Definitely recommend Hammersmith to anyone in the market for a great bass for not lot of money.

Awesome! Marko and I kinda "designed"/spec'd out that bass together with the intention of me possibly buying it "used" after NAMM. When the time came I didn't have the money, so off it went to Andy Irvine. Glad someone here got it.

What are your thoughts on the Big Rig pickups?

I like them a lot. Very responsive with an old school kinda tone. The bass is pretty nice. Now I just gotta try and get used to 5 string. I want to like it, my fingers and brain say otherwise. Lol.

Don't get discouraged, it took me a lot of practice to get comfortable on a 5. And then more practice to switch back and forth between a 4 and a 5. But you'll get there after a while.
