She is finished! 😍 
My dreambass made real by Maurício Costa @ MGbass Guitars.

Many thanks to Mauricio who took this idea I had of my dreambass and succeeded in making it even better and more beautiful than I could ever have imagined.

Mauricio, I will be forever grateful for you making this gorgeous instrument for me and I feel honoured that I can call you my friend.

I can't wait to hit the stage with this beauty on my arm! 😎👌

When I was talking about this custom bass build by Mauricio a lot of people asked me why I didn't build my dreambass myself as I have been putting together affordable, but high quality parts basses myself for many years now..

My answer to that question was always the same, 
I simply said that "what Mauricio does is on a totally different level than anything that I could ever assemble myself, no matter how good the parts I use."

"Mauricio is not just a luthier, Mauricio is an artist, he builds the entire instrument by hand and does it with so much passion and dedication that it becomes more than just a bass guitar, his instruments are a work of art, 
this bass will be a muse in it's own right that will keep on inspiring me until the day I die!"

After receiving these pictures today I can only stand by those words with even more conviction, this bass is out of this world and I strongly advise all the bassists out there to check out his work as having Mauricio build your dreambass will probably be a lot cheaper than what you would expect when buying from such a talented and well known luthier!  👍

Spec's are :

- Brazilian olive wood top

- Maple/Wengé neck with Lined Ebony fret(less)board,

- Nordstrand Zen Blade pickups (with custom made ramp)  wired passive V/V/T

Shipping is 3-5 days, but it's customs services that usually causes the biggest delay, so I'm hoping for the best.. 😬
