Double Bass New Standard Database

[Ben Rolston]

Exactly what the title says. Considering how much talk and support these basses get on here (4 threads on the main page at the moment), I think it would be extremely cool for owners to post their basses (even if they've already been posted many times). This would allow owners to show off their beauties, allow prospective owners to get a more true sense of what they may look like in all variations, and also introduce the basses to the unknowing (A sticky would be cool). If this for any reason interferes with a rule of the forum that I am not aware of close the thread please.



This is in no way an attempt to combat my anticipation of my Cleveland coming in a few weeks

Here's a picture of my Cleveland [laminated]. I got it in the Fall/Winter of 2004. This picture was taken this past summer.

edit: i know the picture isn't the best, but it's the one from my website.

Edit #2: I checked out my label [actually at the picture i have of the label] my bass is from 2004 & is #163.

 

[Ben Rolston]

Thats exactly what I was think of, that color is very different that other NS I have seen. The variation is interesting.

Here's mine.... 2003 Cleveland #124 ply bass. Sadly you get me in the photo as well, but this shot shows the nice coloration.

I agree-to my eyes-my bass has more yellow & med-light brown in the varnish than others. Comparing to mchildree's bass-it looks like his has more red in it. Sometime this week-i'll try and take another picture [this time a bit higher resolution] & post a link to it. However, i must state this-i love my Cleveland.

No need to apoligize, Mike. You're coloration is fine as well .

I wasn't going to post this because it still shows up on the NS sidebar ads every so often, but what the hell. Mine's labeled #120, and if I understand correctly it's the first LaScala hybrid. I bought it from TBer "CB3000", who sold it to get a Cleveland.

 

[Tritonis]

I'm not gonna lie, those La Scalas are dead sexy. I'm a little jealous.

This thread is making me want to get a La Scala [some form of one] to be a companion to my Cleveland.

laters.

#170, laminated
We just had some band photos taken last weekend so I can post an "action" shot later. This picture was taken less than two hours after I got home from the depot with the bass, April 4th, 2005. It's not quite as orange/red "live." It looks a lot more like the bass on the NS website in person, sort of a deep walnut brown.

If there are any New Standard owners in the Boston area, please PM me so I can try your bass out!

 

[Ben Rolston]

I got my Cleveland from Nick Lloyd today, and its amazing. Nick, Arnold and Wil (who I unfortunately had no contact with) produced one of the nicest basses I have ever played, which isn't saying that much though. I will review it fully in another thread.

Pictures here:

Also I am doing some recording this coming monday, so I may be able to post clips (I'm not positive I will be using the Cleveland though, because of the new string sound).

 

[DrBassie]

Just adding my New Standard that arrived a few weeks ago.

It's #234.

DrBassie, nice bass, real purdy. Is that the standard finish or did you go for a darker finish? Maybe the pics just make it look darker?
I've got another month or so to wait for my Clev., can't wait.

 

[DrBassie]

I asked for a dark finish with some antiquing. I was happy with the result! You won't be disappointed with the bass. I'm sure of that!

Update to my last posts-my NS Cleveland now is wearing a Realist Pickup-used it on a gig tonight, and it sounded amazing.

take it easy.
