Ordered a Kiesel bass

[eastcoasteddie]

I’ve had a revelation last night, that if I were able to do a custom bass, it will most likely be a Kiesel, maybe even an Icon...that is unless they have something cooler out by that time...
And since I have seen in the Icon 5 image gallery on their site, that they really can deviate from the soap-bar pickups on that bass...

I want to do an Icon 5 with a Single MM-style HB in the sweet-spot, like the Amos Williams Vader...

Sorry I missed this thread. I agree, the Icon's neck is wonderful. Zero hand fatigue. Just play and play and play. Especially since I get to choose small frets!

One thing I noticed on Kiesel’s builder...at least for the JB5...they are not offering nickel frets any more, only stainless...and they are not an extra cost any more either.

Yeah Jeff announced that, a couple of months ago.

I guess I didn’t get the memo...I don’t follow social media (unless TB counts, but I doubt it). I suppose I’m ready for that pasture now....
