4000 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Wow, those are big knobs! (No tittering at the back please... ) That figuring looks fab. Quote

4000 Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Awesome! Why is it though that I keep looking at this and thinking I'd actually like a 5 string fretless... Quote

pantherairsoft Posted November 3, 2010 Author 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. Edited November 3, 2010 by pantherairsoft Quote
ShergoldSnickers Posted November 4, 2010 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... Quote
eude Posted November 4, 2010 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
