Now that is a seriously nice looking instrument!!!! http://www.bassnw.com/Used Basses/surine_homage_series_I_5_st.htm
That bass is from a collaborative venture between me and Surine basses. All I'm going to say is that you have to play one for yourself. I'm an Surine endorser.
I'd love to play one. That one looks like it is at a serious discount from the prices of a new one!!!
Yes it is. The Homage series is based off of my Sub contra bass that Scott built for me(Scott made the very first Sub Contra bass). And I asked Scott to do a standard version and since we were doing a J bass Scott wanted to name it the Homage series in honor of Leo Fender.
And he'll do a 6 or 7 string version. It also comes in different model series. http://www.surinebasses.com/homage-i.shtml
I think it looks ok. Not all too special, but I like the looks of this one better than the looks of some other surines I have seen.
....ah poop....I have my credit card sitting on the table for this one, but I have a policy of never buying anything the week before NAMM. i guess the cats been thrown out of the bag. My policy sucks.
+1. But cool in a retro kinda way as IMO some of their basses (the Regency for example) are way over the top.
