I will have to email him directly- just googled the site, very nice, but didn't see what I was looking for exactly- but man, that craftsmanship! WOW!!!

Tell his Shane recommended him. He will do you good and can do basically anything you want.

Thanks!

Won't be for a while yet (this stupid housing thing is driving me and bass-wife nuts!)...

She's a beauty! Congrats!

Thanks, Crusher.

Stunning! I especially like that electronics cavity and cover design.

Yes, Devon certainly gives you a lot for your money.

 

[ELG60]

That's seriously beautiful. Those lollipops are such a nice touch. Sweet!

They really do work well visually and help to add to the unique quality of the instrument.

Here's the second Devon I've gotten from @campbems. Better looking in person than in any photos. Thanks @campbems !

The workmanship looks fantastic.

The workmanship looks fantastic.

It really is. It's the details...The rear deflected headstock which requires no string retention, the zero-fret, magnetic control/battery cover, counter-sunk knobs, fit and finish. All features not necessarily found on some much more expensive custom instruments.

Absolutely true... I just noticed your profile picture and realized you own both of those Custom Devon’s now lol. What’s your favorite of the 2?

 

[40Hz]

Sure is pretty!

Congrats! Play it well.

Those basses are classic furniture class... I would hesitate to touch them let alone put them on the couch. It's the details that distinguish a custom instrument and Devon seems to have plenty. Especially liked the contours and the gorgeous finish. Enjoy playing!

Visually, the latest one...by a hair. Been working and hope to get playing it in a day or 2.

Yes, these, and my masterbuilt coccobolo Sadowsky only get played after I've showered and am wearing sweats and a tee shirt.

 

[generalduncan]

Don't forget the wristband, headband and an excess towel when playing. Who knows what sweat will do to the finish

Yeah, and I could join a Loverboy cover band.

 

[Ironbar]

It has one too many strings on it!

 

[ELG60]

The inlays on the fretboard are amazing!

They may be my favorite detail.

First, the bass is awesome, congrats!

Second, couldn’t resist designing my own, his website is actually what a luthier's should be. When I showed my $3,125 bass to my wife, her first reaction wasn’t “you’re a jerk” but “wow, that’s nice.”

Third, now I have GAS again...thanks.

No problemo, mate. Glad to help. Sounds like you've got a good one there...wife, that is.
Bass too, but you know the rules...pictures or it didn't happen.
