NBD....elrick

[spanndrew]

Thanks everyone. Its new. I whined a bit in the elrick club thread bc of my impatience. It truly is amazing. Sounds fantastic. Robs necks are incredible. Craftsmanship second to none.
Jim at the atlanta bass gallery was awesome to work with too.

He always is, I love that shop.

A friend of mine has one just like this...greatest bass I ever played. If I hit the lottery I too will own one.

A thing of beauty. Nice score!

Gorgeous instrument. The grain on the fretboard is just beautiful. +1 for not ruining it with markers.

My favourite US builder.

Can you do Youtube review please

 

[allenhumble]

Thank you. I can do a youtube review but it will have to wait a week or so. Swamped with work.

Beauty! I've never had the opportunity to try one, but that is a work of art! Looking forward to your comments and YouTube vid.

More beer = better results

Perfect! What a great bass. Amazing specs and it looks incredible. Is it new or used?

For used "new to me" basses, I have a routine/tradition....

1. I immediately get home with it and show it to everyone in the house and tell them how amazing the bass is. The wife and kids roll their eyes as I have done this dozens of times.
2. Right to my office/studio to play it for a bit (usually before dinner).
3. After dinner, get all my bass cleaning and restringing supplies, grab some beers, and spend a good hour cleaning and setting up the new bass.
4. Back to the studio to play for an hour or two with more beers.

If it is a new bass, I skip #3 but don't skip the beers.

Beautiful bass. I was going for a similar look with one of my customs (with a myrtle top), but I really like the matching pickup covers and the way the fingerboard matches the top. I like tops like this with different things going on (spalting, flame, burls...). Gorgeous...

That's a beautiful bass. Good for you.

I've tried fretless a couple of times and have come to the conclusion that its just not for me.
My next purchase will probably be a jules monique.

Right now im playing thru a summit td100 into the bergantino ip 322 I picked up from tom. Sounds incredible!
