Seth Kimmel bass

[marvin spangles]

Hi
Got this bass on try out from Tom Barret in Galway. It's made by an Oregon based Luthier called Seth Kimmel. She sure is 'purdy'. She sings purdy good too.!

Beautiful instruments. Is she a keeper?

Looking very like it Geoff. Can't stop smiling everytime I play. Just have to rob a bank !

Do you think it would be a better buy than a fully carved la scala to keep your hybrid company?

Well that's the 64million dollar question. I'm finally at the stage where I think that I definitely should not be buying sight unseen. I've no doubt that a fully carved La Scala would be a superb bass. This bass is so ergonomically designed it seems a perfect fit for my small frame. I originally wanted something that I could use for a diploma and now find that this is a lovely jazz bass too. The only downside is it's a little heavy.
