Hi - gorgeous looking beast, do you have any sound samples of the pickup sound vs piezo? I have a Rob Allen Mouse so know the general piezo sound his basses has but am looking to get the best of both worlds in one bass and yours looks like it could be it

Cheers,

Nick

Hi Nick,

I have this little video! Not the best quality but it might give you an idea. I have used both steel string and the nylon strings and it sounds great with both. It's a great sounding bass

Is the spacing at the bridge original ? 15mm is quite narrow and the neck looks perfect for a wider spacing. Would be tempting if it would be customizable towards 17mm...

It's actually some between 14-15 mm. I got it from BassNW and they said 16 mm but it's not.
