The 5-String club Part 2

Can I get a number?
 
Ooh, what's going on with that Lakie ? Coil-taps ? And what pickups ?

Sorry for the late post. Mike Pope Flexcore preamp and Nordstrand pickups. Switches for coil tap, midrange center, active passive. 4band eq and passive tone control that works in active and passive mode. The preamp is similar to what's in the Fodera, except for the added mid freq toggle and the low mid/high mid control. I eliminated the blend and have separate vol for each pickup, so it's more like a jazz hybrid.
 
lfbassguy - Great! You already have #372.
#593 NikkiWonka - Love the finger ramp.
#594 No_one21 - Great body style. The headstock isn't in the picture. Who's the builder?
#595 ceerod - I'm generally not a fan of singlecut basses, but yours looks awesome! I don't see a name on the headstock.
#596 GBassNorth - Great collection!

Thanks, its my 1st singlecut and I love it! Killer tone and plays like butter.

Yes, no name on the headstock. The model is called "The Om", and its a collaboration between Chris Benavente (of Benavente Guitars) who did the woodwork and Brian Barrett (of the LowEnd Bass Shop) who did the electronics and final assembly.

This particular Om was featured at NAMM 2011 and is signed on the back of the headstock.
