One thing about ordering a custom bass is you can never be exactly sure what the result will be. Owning a bass by the luthier already is a good starting point. I notice you’re specs are inspired by Rocco Palladino and Janek - two players with a very different specs and sounds - so to expect one bass to sounds like both of those is asking too much, especially from a builder who manufactures for neither.

Looks awesome

Hopefully someone got a legit bargain! Wouldn’t be surprised if a vintage dealer has taken a punt although obviously wasn’t yourself…

Not much of a description but very good feedback on musical gear. Could be authentic and doesn’t like ripping people off?

Saw this is the classifieds and thought it’d be an exceptional buy for someone. Congrats!

Are they rockbass or German Warwick? I didn’t think broad necks were an option for RB?

I had a fortress 5 many years ago. Well made but was heavy and difficult to get the action low. Also I believe all Warwick designs (broad neck aside) have 17.5mm spacing as standard.

Funnily enough I think their first masterclass and gig in London was perhaps 15 years ago. It has to be my greatest ever musical experience.

TBG seem to change the pricing on their site once a bass has sold from basses I’ve been following. I don’t know if it’s to do with sale minus commission and they record that value on the site.

I’m pretty sure that’s how it’s taken by all. This would be a very boring and entirely pointless thread if everyone just encouraged each other to give in.

T2 for sure, T1 is harsh

I guess I use mine as an instrument/ keyboard and I see it as an interface in a signal loop in the middle of whatever software holds the sounds.

I would like the technical explanation. Under 5000 words though please 😉

Maybe they’re hoping Trump supporters don’t know that’s Mexico 😂

Buy a beige one and draw orange lines on it. Hey ho AAAA flame maple
