(Too much metal for one hand.)
I think it looks killer. I probably wouldn't rock it myself because I keep my stuff kind of plain jane, but if I went out to see a heavy band and the bass player was kicking that, I'd be thinking "Day-yummm! Hawt!"
What kind of metal you play?

I have never seen a bass more metal than that. I've been to countless underground black/death/doom/sludge/whatever shows over the past 15 years, so I've seen a lot of Metal Basses, but none so metal as that. Ever.
EVER!
even BC Rich's aren't that metal, because they have "Knobs" and "pre-amps". this truly is the most metal bass in existence.
i think this thread need sound clips
Holy crap, I didn't even realize that!even BC Rich's aren't that metal, because they have "Knobs" and "pre-amps". this truly is the most metal bass in existence.

It's true. This bass is more metal than a Mockingbird.
I notice a lack of EMG soapbars, but aside from that, it IS pretty much the metal-est bass I've seen. Awesome design.
haha wow, im related to this Luthier and diddnt know it.
(same last name)
and its a very uncommon last name
(AMAZING BASS.)

i thought i'd check the weight, just for fun. so, i put it on the scale, and it came in at a whopping 5.5 lbs.
talk about light! but it sounds HEAVY! and it plays soooo much better than my fender. i'll try to get some sound clips up soon.

amazing that it's so light. i'm looking forward to those sound clips
+1. Except I was going to use a different word than "fookin'"
I hate BC Rich and other pointy metal basses but yours is really cool.
That thing is MUCH more elegant and balanced looking than anything similar being put out by B.C. Rich, Warwick, or any other company that makes an odd-shaped bass. You could really look into licensing that shape to someone... seriously.
With that combo of woods and electronics, there's no way that you won't be heard, either. I bet it cuts through the mix like a tank on steroids.
