I am not a four string player but HOLEEEE YOU KNOW WHAT this is simply a work of art - it is so beautiful that it will make a tadpole slap a whale.

Why slap the whale when you can "slappa da bass"?

That's quite nice.
What bridge is it?

I've been to Texas.

 

[Mark Desmo]

I've been to Texas.

A place called Elgin just outside of Austin.

Then I did a big mahoosive 3 week loop drive via Taos NM, Vegas, Morro Bay and Santa Barbara CA, then back to Austin for a flight to NYC for a week.

A fantastic place, and I'd dearly love to visit again..

It’s a sig fest but I will pick one at some point.

30 years ago I would never believe that 2 of my favorite bassists would be sporting sweet sigs. How is the 'Plower? I'm not drawn to short scales but they sound great in the few vids I've seen and it's very unlikely I'll see one in the wild up here in NE Wisconsin.

I love it. Quality build in a super light tight package. Been playing shorties 10+
Years and I really enjoy this bass. Reverend built a great bass.

I see that there has been a few new colors released at NAMM. I'm always on the lookout for a deal on an emerald one but their price is holding strong.

I have this same bass from Jay Turser, just in the natural finish. I must say this one is a real beauty. I have some VERY old GHS flats on it, and it delivers the thump like no other bass of mine - I just wish it didn't have the neck dive it has, though! Nice bass along with the rest of your collection.

I love, love, love the JTB-134 even though it out dives Greg Louganis every day of the week. Added a strap button on the upper horn which helps a bit. I have been planning on loading it with some TV Jones Thunder'Trons but it keeps getting bumped down the list to make room for other gear and it really thumps quite well the way it is.

Those Jay Turners are beautiful. Is there a reason the upper horn seems shorter than the lower?

 

[rust_preacher]

Just an aside about the slappa-da-bass: I had a parts Jazz (with an ASAT Bass neck) have a nice pro fret job and it sounds like it could use a slap player instead of me - the string height is trimmed to the lowest on any of my basses it's almost ridiculous.
