pantherairsoft Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Oh my god I have just found the bass of my dreams... I have to own it... Oh... Wait... If you look closely at the light patch on the top horn, it looks like sunset, meeting the quilted section under it, which looks like water. This is completely by accident... But it's very cool.

ShergoldSnickers Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Robbie's work just exudes that elusive combination of soul and meticulous craftsmanship. You have all the attention to detail and precision you could want but it's anything but clinical or sterile. Utterly exquisite. Need a copywriter Robbie? Cheap rates...

eude Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Wow man, that looks sublime, really really impressed, but not surprised Robbie's work is amazing! Bet you can't wait to get your mitts on it. Wonder if I can work out some way of intercepting it... Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
