New 8-string Listerud basses on the way

[Saetia]

That's beautiful, and I'm in love with the inlay and the meaning

Been a fan of your music for quite some time.

Thanks for sharing

Peace

[...] but I do think that for the most part, people that carry Thor's Hammers etc, aren't racists/nazis.

Thankfully, I think you're right about that.

And no matter what, I look forward to seeing those two basses finished. Listerud makes some beautiful guitars, for sure.

According to XE.com currency conversion 18,000 NK isn't nearly as much as i was expecting. With the level of detail work on those basses-i was expecting $5k+ [USD]. Mainly in the inlays.

Great looking instruments.

18-20,000 NOK is for a 6 stringed bass, the 8-string ones are a little bit more. But yeah, Listerud's prices are reasonable, I think it's mainly because bass building isn't his main job.

Thats just amazing, Tiwaz! Absolute wonderful basses there!

I hope you can use those babies on the next Borknagar album!

the basses are amazing and I hope to ear the basses in the album and also live

[fr3drik]

Håhåhå, can't wait to see these done.

Steike, misunnelig nå ja

 

[blikeng]

Any progress?

 

[Andy Brown]

I strangely have a craving for Oreo cookies... nice basses!

 

[Tiwaz]

Hehe, yeah, I was thinking the same thing when I saw the side-profile picture of the basses

 

[flipper_gv]

WAIT, YOU PLAYED WITH VINTERSORG? and Satyricon? and Emperor?, wow

 

[Tiwaz]

Added a few more pictures. Hoping to get the basses some time next week

So, a few changes were made regarding bass #2:

Body: 5 piece Poplar (Aspen)
Neck: 3 piece Maple
Frettingboard: Wenge
Head top plate: Flamed Maple

I am extremely happy the way the basses have turned out, couldn't have asked for more.
They sound very good, and the playabillity gets a full score from me, just a few adjustments remains to get the action low enough for my liking. There is a little weight difference between the two basses, bass #2 is about 2/3's the weight of bass #1. Anyway, enjoy the pictures for now, I'll upload some soundbytes later on, I just have to get used to handling these monsters

Congrats man, those are two impressive pieces right there!

 

[Marcury]

Wow, those rock, but other than the obvious visual differences, are they very different?

 

[needmoney]

That's cool. I like how the bodies are still very compact for an 8 string

 

[Linkert]

Very, very cool basses! Have fun!

 

[Lo end PUNCH]

Amazing!!!

 

[lousybassist]

Those two did come out nicely! Enjoy!
