HOW DO YOU GET AHOLD OF 10,000 YEAR OLD IVORY?

You call someone that sells exotic materials and they send it to you. I use it often for knives and 1911 grips. It's beautiful stuff.

Some here have asked why... I say, why not?

Is it slightly ostentatious? Yes. Is it really freakin' cool? Hell yes. Can I afford it? Yes.







(ok, no...damn)

.... its not even a neck-through.



But can it go passive?

DaAAAAAANNNGGG



I gotta get me one of them suckers

 

[Lowfader]

GOT BASS ?

 

[Yvon]

If I had 100 000 $ to spend on only one bass, I would buy it!

 

[Mark Wilson]

I'd buy it too.

Where on Earth did he get the money to fund this?
I mean...the control knobs ALONE are probably 10k.

 

[JBass1]

am i the only one that WOULD play it?








...you guys are no fun

if i had $100,000 to spend on a bass..it probably means theres a hell of a lot more where it came from..so i say, why not?...and if ur not married, one day u can just remove one of the diamonds and propose...or just give her the bass

 

[fenderjazz68]

Didn't someone comission Jens to make this? I remember JT saying something about this last year at the SE GTG. Some prince of a country

That's the question I have...

Did he make it for someone, or did he make it 'cause he wanted to?

Either way, if I had f-u money I might hang it on the front door as a "door knocker."

 

[Lo end PUNCH]

...opened the thread....
expected more.....

 

[MAJOR METAL]

WOW and WOW , That is really something.

Ok, hows this...

I wonder how it sounds?

 

[LaMarquis J]

I'd buy it too.

From what I understand he had a very wealthy individual to fund this whole project. This bass is just 1 of 10 like it that will be produced by Jens over the coming year. Maybe even longer. I may already have a buyer lined up for this one. of course it aint me unfortunately

.... its not even a neck-through.



But can it go passive?

I'm with you man, I wouldn't consider putting that much work into a bolt on. Yes I'm a snob...

 

[MAJOR METAL]

If it were only Green i would be all over this

 

[Joe Gress]

So thats why Jens wont take anymore orders till what, 2007?

 

[manbass]

100 G's and its still a bolt-on? Whats he thinkin?

Seriously, thats just an amazing piece of materialism. It need its own bodyguard.
