That's quite something, what tuning is it going to be in?

 

[JEDI BASS]

NICE!!!

Thanks! I have it tuned in standard 4ths tuning across the board. B E A D G C F Bb Eb.

 

[Dellers]

Now that's what I call a solid dining table neck! Lol, and I'm having serious trouble when playing 6 strings...

 

[AMJBASS]

Nicely done! I bet you can't wait to get your hands on it. Really sharp looking bass.

 

[MultiScaleMale]

Real bassists only need two pickups.

Heh.

Looks great! Can't wait to hear the initial impressions. Hopefully they deliver early rather than right at the end of a delivery run.

I would imagine that they would want to save as much as possible in fuel costs, it'll probably be the first thing off the truck. The suspension isn't that hefty.

 

[dakpluto]

Man that's beautiful, and my hands ache looking at it, lol. Seems like that would be a nightmare to play unfanned. You planning on mostly tapping it?

 

[Dave Siff]

Good god, man. That's beautiful. I wouldn't be able to play "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on it, but that's one of the coolest basses I've ever seen. Congrats on realizing your vision, and props to the luthier.

 

[BIG CHEETO]

Awesome! heheh. UPS has been prety consistent with deliveries arriving at 4:30pm. I've got everything but the bass, in place and ready to go!

 

[john turner]

nice, man, congrats - about time, eh?

and let me remind everyone that, as per forum rules , slagging ERB's is inappropriate here at talkbass. these "jokes" are not funny, they're not new, and they're not welcome. (those posts responsible have been removed).

Funny, you would think it would need to be multiscale to play comfortabley, but the builder of the bass Fred Bolton told me that it "plays and feels phenomenal!".

He also said that ''the B feels and plays and sounds like a dream".

I'll have to get back to you guys on all this. At this point i'm just taking his word for it.

Jaco only needed two pickups...

Haha, just busting your balls man. It looks FANTASTIC! Definitely post of a vid of you playing that beast. I myself have enough trouble taming a 6-string.

 

[MD Stingray]

I only play 4-strings, but deeply respect players who play a bass like this one.

Very nice man! That is a beautiful piece of craftmanship.

 

[Bassman7PM]

Man thats awesome, congrats. My Conklin just ran and hid under the bed cowering in fear

 

[bassmasta76]

Wow, that thing is a monster! I'd sure hate to have to put new strings on that sucker

If you ever do any solo recordings with it, I'd be interested to hear what it sounds like!

 

[somegeezer]

If only I could handle such beauty. =P That is one damn good bass you have yourself there.

 

[fretlesswonder]

that is an amazing bass...enjoy and congrats to you!
