steve Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah, I thought Bongo when I saw it. Fantastic job, especially the finishing Quote
yorks5stringer Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks, but the camera hides a number of faux paux! Here's a few photos alongside my other Bass so you can see the difference in sizes. [attachment=30248:S5000500.JPG] [attachment=30249:S5000501.JPG] [attachment=30250:S5000502.JPG] Quote
v8bass Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 I like it and i like it a lot . nice work that man ! [b]Bongoberger [/b] Quote
ZMech Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) I think that's the first single cut I've found attractive! although I don't think I would have made the lower horn so angular. A really good job though by the look of it. Edit: realised I asked an already answered question Edited August 4, 2009 by Zach Quote
yorks5stringer Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Just to add tone wise, it sounds a little bit more toppy than my Jazzer with the SD soapbars. It actually has the SD Steve Bailey fretless tone circuit in and is 2 band, the Jazzer is 3 band and is not the Steve Bailey circuit..... It's really a backup Bass so I don't have to lug 2 big Basses to every gig: I'm even getting a little gig bag for it. Edited August 4, 2009 by yorks5stringer Quote
Thunderthumbs Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Nice work there Keith. Looks smart for a smaller bodied singlecut. That 5 string really is bloody beautiful though Quote
Mikey R Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 How much does it weigh? Looks really handy for travelling with! Quote
yorks5stringer Posted August 4, 2009 Author Posted August 4, 2009 7lb 14 oz ,with most of the weight being at the bridge.... so it balances really well Quote
Born 2B Mild Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 It's a Triumph! Well, a Norton at least. Great job and tons of graft, no doubt. Are you going to become Yorks4stringer now? Quote
