Xtof Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Hi, everybody ! I wanted to share with you guys the works of the french luthier Patrick Cosme. I'm the proud owner of several instruments he hand-crafted :-D He makes custom hand-made intruments, and has recently started a vintage design instruments serie. I had the occasion to try some of them, and man ! Patrick is not only a fantastic luthier, but also an amazing bassist, and he has an "inside view" of the making of the instrument. He made fretted, fretless, chambered body, fanned fret, piccolo, midi basses, and the "vintage" basses!!! Here are pictures of different instruments, hope you'll enjoy them !

fleabag Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) I'm fond of decent heads, and would never own a headless, but they're amazing to look at. Edited February 18, 2018 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickA Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 What on EARTH do all those knobs do XTof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtof Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hi, Nick ! Thanks for asking, since I think many other Basschat members wonder about that. There are many knobs, and all of them have a function ( on EARTH! Just kidding, Nick, ok? ). So.... From right to left, on the bottom line, the 3 first are : main volume, piezo volume, MIDI volume. From right to left, on the upper line, the first is pick-ups balance. So, as you noticed, this piccolo bass has a big electronic system (MIDI, and piezo pick-up) and, for the "regular" pick-ups, the Alembic-style filters systems. For each pick-up, you can select the frequency you like and modify the Q width. You can check this on the pic I uploaded just for you! Don't hesitate if you have any question; have a very good day !
