That's my dream bass right there. Carved or hybrid?

It's been 9 months since I gopt my Hybrid Bohemian.... it's only natural that we wish we could've spent "more" for an even "better" instrument... I've gotten over that, my Bohemian is true music... just a wonderful expressive singing voice... everyone who hears it just falls in love with the sound... thank you and Merry Christmas to the folks at Upton and to my fellow TB members !

fully carved.

Congrats! What a beautiful bass. Will we get to hear sound clips?

 

[drurb]

Gorgeous. Love the finish! Congrats!

You said fully-carved. A flatback, yes?

Roundback!

 

[drurb]

Roundback!

Ah, even better! I was fooled by what looks like an angled section at the top of the back. So, you have one of my dream basses.

there's a cant in the back! It sure is a dream bass.

 

[Nathan Levine]

It sure is beautiful, but what about the sound???

 

[Eric Rene Roy]

I'm sure Dave has more...but I "found" these in the Rose listing on the site...

Eric,

What's the string combination on the bass?

Best,

Louis

I may have missed it, but I've been looking at a Bohemian. I play a lot of louder amplified stuff , some slap. Normally an all laminate seems to be the ticket for that kind of stuff, but I wouldn't mind a more pure acoustic sound and still get some volume when needed. Thinking about a hybrid. Would love any advice!

It's a spirocore B and E, dominant A and D, and a bel canto G.

I have a Bohemian that is currently in the works, all laminated and flat back (Josh's advice). I currently play in a Rockabilly trio, and she will be my weapon of choice, I will have her setup for Rockabilly slapping, and hopefully with guts.

I don't know when she will be ready, but will come back here when she is.

Sweet! Thanks

here's a clip of the bass! Apologies for bad intonation and bad recording.

I picked up my new Standard at the Mystic shop on Saturday and can't put it down. The tone and feel is just unbelievable. I'm returning to the DB world after several decades and a long term relationship with a Fender P-Bass. This instrument has such great workmanship, fit and finish. Thanks to all who had a hand in it!

Congrats! As we say, no pictures, no bass.

Congrats, nice new bass, Bruce. And it will need the hat and scarf in this weather!
