What does it sound like?[/quote] Its a Burr Elm front, rosewood thret board and flamed birds eye maple neck, Gotoh Jazz Bass machine heads, ETS bridge and Kent Armstrong lipstick tube pick ups. Sounds amazing, local bassits and moderator on here Nick Smith if you know him reckons its one of the best basses he has played in 28 years Quote

Eude[/quote] Well its got a very warm tone too it, but from what I've tried out (as I've only had it like two days) it can be very different with the sounds it can get, you can get the classic jazz tones, i've got it to sound very precision like. The slap bass from it is so crisp you get the definition of every little detail all the mutes, pops and just everything is so crisp coming through the pick ups. This is his website: [url="http://www.freewebs.com/ebasses/"]http://www.freewebs.com/ebasses/[/url] but as you can see it needs some work, I'll post some photos of the headstock too. He engraved a logo I had custom made and it matches the look of the body. Quote
