I am an old/new bass player, and have seen a myriad of basses over the years, and this bass is, in my humble opinion, the Creme de la creme! I was, to say the least, BLOWN AWAY when I opened the case for the first time! I have never owned a 5 string and I wanted a special one. I got it in spades! The design, the playability, the finish, the TONE, it's all here in this gem! I have only had this bass a short time, but I plan on having it forever! Ok, I'll calm down. This bass practically plays itself. The feel of the neck is outstanding, and the string spacing is perfect! (sorry) It's just that feeling you get when you've found "The One". I'm sure some of the Blue Hairs reading this will get it.

This is a small operation/custom builder and direct sales only, hence the ridiculously low price.
