THE GAS THREAD

 Share

Recommended Posts

Status Stealth II 5 string headless is the only bass thing I've still got a genuine hankering for. All my other bass buttons have been pushed. Outside of bass:

1980's Fender Concert (although the reissues look nice too)
My strat (still being finished by Mr Shuker)
My headless guitar (body is still being made by Mr Shuker)
Roland JV1080 synth with the vintage expansion card
Roland V-bass
Roland TDK drum kit

However the reality is that in the current economic climate I'd be a fool to pay for these while the job front is still so uncertain. In any case, I'm pretty much done unless someone ends up making some lightweight wedge bass cabs before I go out and buy all the tools and wood myself.

Funny you should say that, because i'm currently GAS free, having bought your corvette! ;)

I was just thinking exactly the same thing (except it was the Matt Garrison for me...). Stunning!

It's by a Dutch Luthier called Adamovic and was co-designed with Frederic Gervais, who operates Fray's Bass Corner, a boutique bass shop. A very nice chap indeed. I'm waiting on some sound samples from him as it's not possible for me to head over to try this design out. I've been gasing for a Matt Garrison for a while but they go for for sillly money and a heck of a long bulid time. He has a cool site too- [url="http://www.frays-basscorner.com/"]http://www.frays-basscorner.com/[/url]

Cool stuff! Unfortunately due to the current exchange rate they're still fairly pricey though....
