It should....[emoji3] [emoji6] ....he's the man
He is making a mahogany fretless 76 with ebony knobs....

Ebony knobs add brightness to the tone pot.
Come in Doude!! I used to only play 6ers. Take it from me, if you can't do it with 4 (I'm considering a 3 string) then something is wrong man!
Doing a corporate Christmas party tonight, these people are a making a mortuary look more lively.
he's making that for me! pretty excited after seeing that pic...
Haven't seen it. I'd probably get Carl to build one for me.
Last nights gig was a mixed bag. The room sounded fantastic. The mix was dead on...and the crowd was dead too. I found out later that it was an accounting firm, so I kind of put 2 and 2 together and things made sense.
I played the 55-01 most of the night with my Shuttlemax 9.2. The sound of the 55-01 is so thick, round but still precise and balanced that it just brings a smile to my face. I switched to the 55-02 for the last set and it is so articulate. They are an incredible pair to gig with. They really can do any style of music and do it extraordinarily well. A good analogy for the two basses: 55-01=Spicoli 55-02=Mr. Hand
We did everything from our Rockabilly version of Okee From Muskogee and country standards to Purple Rain and it sounded fantastic.
I made a Rosewood finger bridge for the 55-01 this week and I really liked the tones that I could get playing between the pickups. I'm going to make one for the 55-02 this week. They are really handy tools.

I've been wanting a 3-string for a long time. Years ago, Tony Levin used to use a Stingray 3-string custom made for him by Musicman. (It was lost in a fire
). I've talked to Carl about making one a couple times. Just hard to justify the expense for what essentially boils down to a novelty at best, and a more or less pointless political statement at worst!Is there a 3-string Roscoe floating around?
Sorry dude....we are going a Christmas party on the 23rd....somehow I think it will be better than what you suffered....
That is one uber sweet looking bass! Love what he did with the feet markers....
The wood combo is stunning

I saw it in the classifieds a few days ago
I bet!No worries, a few of Ben Franklin's always make me feel better after a lame gig.
We are doing ours gratis.....one of our lead guitarists is high up in the organization at the company
I really don't mind....I don't get to "play out" and do non christian stuff too often...so I to it for the fun of it!
