It left things a little tight at the time, but it's saved me a bit. On the upside, when we're the outcasts we're going to be, they'll be dearer and rarer. Quote

NickD Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Maybe. It's really tough to predict. Given that it plunged this week chances are there'll be a bit of a rally in the short term. Quote

ezbass Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Even at the current rate, they're still great value. Quote

NickD Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 That is incredible... Ridiculous, insane, but incredible! All you need now is for ABBA to reform! Quote

pierreganseman Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 adrian keeps impressing me ... proper high end Jobs for no money. Although I did see in his last video that he did a bass for a customer that was 2200 euro. I am very happy to see that company going into "proper luthier" work ... please don't get me wrong when I say that, I only mean exotic top , roasted maple and so on. That a lot of people charge a lot of money for. He's starting to do jobs , that are still under just about anybody but are much higher than his "usual jazz bass" Quote

scrumpymike Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 OK guys (pause for drum roll / trumpet fanfare): And here she is!!

Fisheth Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) Gorgeous. Just wondered about this, but has anyone put in a full custom from Adrian, so I mean something that is a shape that isn't offered by them. What was the price point on it? Edited October 8, 2016 by Fisheth Quote

Just I like pointy basses and there's nothing really for me out there, so thought I'd ask none the less though! Quote
