Looks very good. I have never heard of the maker--Quebecois?
I'm gonna guess that your favorite bassist is...Entwistle!
Enjoy.

 

[Yvon]

Very nice!!
I like it!
Mathieu is a real nice guy

 

[Fishbrain]

Looks nice, doesn't seem to be great access to the upper frets though?

 

[jackcregg]

That looks like a sex ass version of the rainbow bass

It looks fantastic...I know you will love yours as much as i love my Bilodeau...we are so lucky we got in on the ground floor..these basses are going to have a large following....I am already planning a couple more...while we can still afford them...and the wait time is reasonable..... My Bilodeau #1 in Bass Heaven !!! CHECK THEM OUT !!!! here is his link !!! Link Removed

Gorgeous but definately not my thing.

I can't bring myself to play "works of art" like these.

 

[RickenBoogie]

How do you make adjustments to that bridge? It's pretty, no doubt, but a wooden bridge?

 

[Lord Henry]

Stunning looks, I love it.

I'm also wondering about the possible limitations of a wooden bridge. You must let us know how it works out for you.

Cheers

very nice...a possible successor to Carl Thompson?

My first post on TalkBass...

Thank you all for your interest and positive comments, it encourage me to continue.

Did i mentionned my english is not very good?

About the wooden bridge, it's acceptable on a fretless bass because the position of the finger is not perfectly on fret. I would not recommend this type of bridge on a fretted instrument. Finally The action is then adjusted to what the owner ask for, usually a player don't change action height very often. If needed, it's only a few hours of work to do an other bridge.

That's only because there are so many "frets"! A design necessity, if the way high notes are to be reached - I dig it.

 

[D.A.R.K.]

it looks like the bass has 28 fretlines....is this correct?

I think he stole the concept from Steve.

That is most definatly true, I don't enjoy playing up that high so the access doesn't concern me to much!
