Chownybass Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Photo showing first UK built body ready for the top to go on. The holes are the cable routing for battery cables and some weight saving chambering. Fully Ash Body SWBs will now be an ash body with an ash top. So it'll look like one piece, but underneath you've got some stuff going on. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lot of shorter scale 5’s out there, would be a shame for those to disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relationship/signature is not really a factor for me (although I do like Davie and his slappp, I know a lot of people don't 😁), it's just his channel and his signature bass is how I discovered your brand in the first place a couple months ago, and has been drooling over your basses ever since then. So I guess he got you at least one prospect customer 😉 A shortscale Retrovibe Evo in green... again, just can't wait!
