Are there enough Surine owners to start a club? If so, I'm #1!!!!! I've owned 3 of his basses and they're astounding!
Scott's basses are some of the best basses on the market(and I don't mean that lightly). The consistency in quality and craftsmanship is with out a doubt beyond top notch. I have yet to play A Surine bass that I didn't feel or played exceptionally well. And I've been a Surine endorser for many years.
Jauqo, your experience w/Surines, including the model Scott named after you, is well known to those of us who love Surine basses. I would probably have to cede member #1 status to you, without doubt. With just 3 of us chiming in, it's going to be a really small club.
I briefly owned a 6 string Surine. I felt that the build quality, playability, and tone of that particular bass was below average. It's the only Surine I've owned/played so I won't judge his company based on that one.
One less string and I might have held onto it. One of the stranger deals I got at GC. I was told someone had traded this in for some effects pedals. It was tagged at $1,000.
I guess I'm a little late, but I love my Surine! I'd like to see more pictures of other Surines. View attachment SS1a.jpg View attachment SS3a.jpg
back from the dead, I guess you can hear the cricket's chirping in the Surine Club. I'm two months into my build, and it's so painful waiting for my bass.
Cool! Is that coco bolo? I've been wanting to get another Surine for a long time, but I'm not quite there yet.
Well since this thread is overwhelmed with popularity, I'll take it upon myself to keep it alive, here's my latest build pics. B.
I'm a Spector guy by Tone , But I played a surine 5 that was absolutly the best instrument I have ever played, bar none. Of course it was gone when I came back the next day to buy it. Everything I did on that bass was perfect and came out exactly how I intended it to. Once the kids move out, I will have one! lol One of the few basses out there that is definatly worth every penny.
This was my first 6 string, and my first custom made bass. I loved it. The tone, playability, craftsmanship, fit and finish... all top notch. But I was intimidated by 6 strings, and sold it. I'd LOVE to have another one!
