Bassdude BE Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 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! 😎👌 #MGBass #Nordstrand #ZenBlades #Fretless 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! 👍 https://mgbassguitars.com/?lang=en I've just got these pictures today and she is on her way to me right now, I couldn't be more excited to be honest. it is my birthday today and just the thought that I will be able to play this beauty soon is enough of a present to me to make this the best birthday so far. Spec's are : - Brazilian olive wood top - Ash body - Maple/Wengé neck with Lined Ebony fret(less)board, - Nordstrand Zen Blade pickups (with custom made ramp) wired passive V/V/T - 18mm string spacing at the bridge Hope you enjoy the pictures!! 😍😍😍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eude Shipping is 3-5 days, but it's customs services that usually causes the biggest delay, so I'm hoping for the best.. 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
