^^^ Wow. No specs on the website yet? Only phone orders?

I guess so. Not really sure why.

Holy crap. Headless bolt on single cut!

I tried to look at the Zeus bass in the website. I didn't see it.
I did see the bass fly-in during the guitar demo on their FB page.
Also noticed not a lot of bass love on that FB page! What's up with that Kiesel!
Also stop using that big bevel.
Those are my demands. Thank you.

I agree with you about the Vanquish and Aries bass models, I don't like that huge bevel as well...
But on this new single cut bass the "big bevel" is definitely better looking IMHO and it should allow to all those super cool binding effects like they do on the SCB guitar model:

They just posted the bass to their Facebook page. Not for me.

Needs more Allan Holdsworth bass!!

Nothing on the Kiesel forum yet either. Very odd. I'm really considering ordering one.

 

[PotsdamBass8]

I think it looks really nice. It’s very well balanced, visually. It sits really nicely in that range between crazy modern/metal, and classic. I could see myself owning one of these very easily.

I emailed my guy at Kiesel the 5 is starting at $1,249, with pretty much same specs as the Vader’s. I gotta move some gear but I’m planning on putting in a build similar to the Zeus guitar he posted with the poplar burl and aurora blue finish.

First pic is on Jeff kiesels personal Instagram page..was driving me crazy trying to find it again

Zeus ZB6 6 string bass?

 

[el_Bajo_Verde]

Looks like Buckeye burl with some sort of red filler.

Yeah it’s a stabilized burl they had a few of them for a vanquish run the did a month or so ago. You can still do it, but I believe you have to buy the billet separately from a different company and then send it in to Kiesel.

Wow! I'll bet that's a non-returnable option!

 

[el_Bajo_Verde]

Yep! Looks like it also has a Kiesel treated palemoon ebony fretboard and customer's custom pickups. Non-returnable for sure

Zeus ZB6 6 string bass?

No, thanks. Hoping for a multiscale Vader...
