Hey Jean! How about a Galaga bass that has a small LCD screen and you can actually play the game on the bass!

 

[Oxblood]

That thing is monsterous!!! Congrats!

 

[JPFerreira]

Thanks for the kind words guys,

First I'd like to give a special thank to Norbert at ETS for the amazing work on the custom bridge!
Sames goes to Yves Carbonne, Aaron Armstrong, John East, Sheldon Dingwall and last but not least, Larry Davis.

This is probably the hardest bass we've ever built but also the funnier!!

The sheep didn't make it on the bass finally as I wasn't satisfied with the results of many attempts inlaying an actual miniature plastic sheep in resin.

The bass is tuned C# to Ab.
Gauges range from 0.195 to 0.006"

Peace,
JP

very cool bass!
I'd love to see some video clips of that beast in action!

Congrats on another amazing bass, Jean! I really like the cleanliness of the design.

 

[lamborghini98]

Wow. Looks good... what's the weight?

 

[King V]

HOLY SHNIEKIES!!

 

[steve21]

That's crazy awesome.

Now JP has to make a 24 string bass... the 12'er doubled.

On your next bass, the neck will be wider than it is long. It's a great-looking bass(?), but it leaves me in a state of confusion just looking at it.

Nicest "super" ERB i'e ever seen - it doesn't have the ugly look that most do

 

[Jimbo]

i'm in love

Is it playable? Seriously?

Ahhh I guess I'll always be a 4-stringer

 

[SenorQueso]

Every time you get another bass I die a little inside
Congratulations on this Master Piece, get some video or some audio of the beast in action for us!

The bass is tuned C# to Ab.
Gauges range from .195 to .006"

The High Ab string (.006) on this Bass is thinner
than the High E string (.009) on a regular Electric Guitar?

 

[anyonefortennis]

How many pounds of pressure do you reckon there's on that neck?

It's time for a Super Mario Brothers theme re-arrangement.
