Merry Christmas! Tell me more about this bass, is it custom? Looks like made for a bass drum?

Cheers!

It's homebrew. Not by me, nor the person I bought it from. It is a bass drum with a 34" neck. Has a great, standup sound, not banjo-y at all, really. I believe at one time, someone manufactures bass banjos in some form... Gibson, I think, at least... but nobody today, though a Google search will bring up many diverse homebrew versions. It is a lotta fun to play... I have played it with my jazz combo students at school, and at church for acoustic or bluegrassy sets. Strung with flats, sounds nice acoustic but has a magnetic pickup. Toying with the idea of getting a pickup like a standup would use. Gotta be careful with it... it can be a feedback machine...

That beautifully uninterrupted red sparkle totally delights my senses; -I love looking at it and want to go swimming in it!
-A wonderful bass for Christmas...

I'm chilling in Rio on Copacabana Beach with Mrs. Barchetta. This is the view from the apartment she rented. It is not a bass, but dang if isn't beautiful.

Checking this one off the bucket list and had to share. Didn't mean to rub it in; well, maybe a little.

When I get my Sire M5 5 string in January (fingers crossed), that will make two check marks. 60 is just around the corner. Time to work on that list!

Managed to snag some pictures the other week. I always wanted to take my bass out into the snow to grab some photos and I think at least some of them turned out great.

Its a spector euro 4 LT.

Gorgeous.

How is the reach to the first frets?

Comparing to a Fender, or a Yamaha, with the strap button on the 12th fret.

Thanks!
