NBD a singlecut hollow boutique

I myself am a fan of ABM bass bridges, gold hardware, zero frets, and gold strings.

This is a real good looking instrument.

Thanks, I can guaranty both ABM and ETS bridges to be the high end boutiques but US luthiers don't prefer It that much because of overseas pricing. Hipshot is same for us

That’s an amazing build! Would love to learn more about the builder, too. Skills like that just amaze me.

Pic of the back compartment? I'm curious, given the depth and amount of material removed, how the electronics/batteries are laying in there.

I use ABM bridges on my bass builds. Both scratch builds and parts basses. Very solid and extremely adjustable. I've never understood why high-end builders seem to use inexpensive hardware when they are already charging high-end prices.

Very nice. Congrats.

FWIW, if you read notation at all, 24 frets is actually ideal as some classical bass music goes to that high G note.

 

[RGerhart]

Beautiful! And I concur with everyone else--we need to hear some sound clips of this one!

There is enough room for 2-3 zoom pedals there lol but sorry, no pic atm. The preamp is very neat with It's own cable and modular design.

Thanks, you are right. I recently started to study some jazz transcriptions again. Even the easiest Miles Davis solo goes to high G thats why my last 3 basses are 24 frets. Same If I want to sight read some cello or doublebass stuff.

That’s some real talent- from start to finish- you should buy a negligee for that thing rather than a case.

 

[mikezimmerman]

Incredible!

 

[Hummergeist]

Awesome, would like to see that as a fiver.

 

[PaulS]

Very cool, enjoy!

 

[cymbop]

That's magnificent.

 

[MYLOWFREQ]

Wow.. Even though that's not my cup of tea it looks great! I've been to Erkem's workshop before and he's a fantastic luthier. Enjoy!
