New Build....

#62
If the names like MTD, Fodera, Alembic, RBass, Pavel, Sadowsky, Nordstrand, Mike Lull, MODULUS, are earmarked for Quality, Tone and Craftsmanship. Ken Smith, Warrior, Alleva Coppolla. I had a few of these names pass through my hands.
Then Josh's work is on PAR. But better to me because I'm bias now by owning one of these work's or ART.

It’s just better! To Me!
To me understanding that tone is subjective and no one instrument can encompass the end all and be all, I’m telling you this one is pretty close.

Josh is a player, so having a clear concept of what bass player’s are looking for in their instruments is not nothing new.
The woods used on the Construction of this particular Snazz Bass are just Outstanding!

I mean I was skeptical of the zero fret, wenge nut layout. But I tell you it rocks!

I’m just playing it passively right now. I’m finding that Organic, Growly, Burpy ,Bark cuts through like nobody’s business. Punch for days!

Electronics are scary quiet. And yet loud bandmates are taking notice of just the sheer explosion of my sound.

I think Josh right now is a well kept secret but the stuff he’s pumping out there is definitely going to make players take notice.

I know I’m in the Love affair stages right now. But the only other Bass I want is when the Tax Return comes in next year and I’ll have Josh build me another one.

Yikes! Heavy!

If I could scrounge up the dough I'd love to have a 5-string P bass made with block inlays that's nice and lightweight, probably with a J pup in the bridge.

If i used swamp ash it could have been a bit lighter, also the wenge neck adds weight. the ratio between the two is why I chose Northern ash for the body as not to have neck dive. I will charge for blocks, If I do them I do them well, but I don't like doing it. But I love the way it looks. a P with Blocks? i might have to say no just on principal...jk

Thank You,

And he's got 2 spots left for orders..

This is a opportunity to get a Custom bass in small batch. So all the perks come with it,. I mean you've seen the results. Josh is the real deal. I really wish I could take the time to explain the way or rather the Love this man put's into his craft! Wonderful Tones, Wonderful to look at! i mean Carey Nordstrand of Nordstrand GUITARS hired him. Luthier, Artist, Josh has it.

And the Snazz series is truly kool, Jazz Style with a lot of SNAZZ!

LOL

Sorry yelling before. My Daughter is taking up photography soon so once she appears I'll have her shoot some really great pic's of this Beauty. HAPA is very talented and his work is something to Marvel and admire.
