I'm sure he's not too far away
I checked out that greenburst G&L when Rob was first showing me the colour he was chasing, and you nailed it Bud! Master of the spraycan!
cuz i'd love a fretless with the Nordy big singles, passive. i'm just that kind of guy.
Bud has a quote machine on his site. Fill it out and he'll get back to you in no time; [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
By the way, when I ordered my Lecompte I wanted a very bright and focus sound. Just like a piano. I think I succeeded. Now I want a more deep/old P bass sound. So I'm thinking of another Lecompte with a P\J set up (Nordstrand) with and alder body. Probably an ebony finger board.
Soon I hope!

Boy it looks good.

These are going to the same customer. Almost done. Just waiting on a some switches. The one on the left is something he came up with. He wanted something really traditional with a hint of custom. It'll be filed under "Special Projects".
It's hard to tell in the photo, but the fingerboards are bookmatches from the same piece as well as being positioned the same on the basses.
Both basses have the same pickups and electronics and the woods are very similar. Both are ash bodies with the one on the right having a walnut accent, maple top and wenge neck stringers. The one on the left has bubinga stringers. All else is the same. Should make an interesting comparison.

I wish my camera could deliver an acurate color representation. Like I mentioned, it's somewhere between the indoor and outdoor shots. It does look good though, if I don't say so myself.
WOW the one on the left is super fantastic! Excelent job! Damn Bud, you sure love (and know)what you are doing!
both are awesome...although I prefer the ST5...it's just such a cool design...
man, I'd be very surprised if you could tell the difference sonically between the two if everything but the body shape is identical.
Bud, your work just keeps getting better and better. I think you have a real talent for making painted(and dyed) basses look really really cool.
