Totally agree... Willie Mosconi could take a branch off a tree and still beat you, with it.

Not familiar with Bruce guitars, but it looks cool.

Sadly they are currenly out of stock on that one.
I'd like to know exactly what you love about this bass. Was any fretwork or nut job...err... work needed out of the box? Tell me about the sound and electronics. Can you compare it to anything?

I've had lots of expensive and boutique basses and my main player is a BOTL Ibanez 6 string.

Scott’s bass lessons did a video on whether custom basses were a scam and put in 5 rules.

I need to make sure that everything pays for itself. So if I was to buy another bass (I have 2 - a 4 and a 5) it would need to make its money back within 6 months and something I’d use regularly. So an 11k USD is not a likely purchase for me. But they are beautiful instruments.

My $249 Indonesian Ibanez Mikro is quite astounding for the price.

Used to gig and tour heavily, so I amassed a big collection of gear. Through trading and selling I've narrowed it down to this wall. But I've made sure that music gear pays for music gear. My wife always jokes about how she's lucky she's not an instrument or I would've traded her 4 times over by now.

Maybe they do. All Fodera players I’ve seen are great.

It was actually my uncle's and I bought it from him. He swapped the original pickup for some kind of early EMG P pickup is what he says. Idk, but it has the most ridiculous slap tone out of any bass I've ever played.

I actually have the floor synth and had a new cable made for it using the original ends. It still works very well.

I'm guessing at least a few years. Just did a google search for Brice Bass Guitar and there they were. Just looked for bass images that looked like the OP's picture and posted them here.

I'm guessing they never remove old data from the website. There's no date on the web page.

Brice Freak Bass

For my main gigging basses, I know the people who built them. I like that aspect, and I’m willing to pay for it. Ymmv.
