This is truly an amazing bass. It’s almost like a “bass within a bass”. When you play it quietly it has all the clarity you’d expect from a good set of electronic pickups – but when you play it a little harder, the semi-hollow-body sound chamber starts kicking in and the whole bass starts singing. It’s a remarkable level of control and expression. In fact it’s a remarkable level of physics – but all my ear knows is that it sounds GREAT, and Ken’s brought the control of all that right to my fingertips. “Sweet” doesn’t even begin to describe it, this is an awesome bass and a very clever piece of ingenuity and craftsmanship. I’m looking forward to recording with it!
KEN YOU NEVER FAIL TO AMAZE!!!!!
well, goddamn!!!! that 6 string bass is definitely the statement of modern luthiership to have the vision to create such a bass is amazing.
I really love this bass, Ken! Such a work of art, but very playable too. Smooth and comfortable, with great tone. I was in the studio with Michael Logue the other day, and one of the songs was begging for fretless. I finished the recording with my fretted Elrick, but soon, I may have to go back and re-track it with that fretless sound it longs for. Anyways, it reminded me of this bass beauty that you have. I’m sure that whenever I’m ready to invest in a nice, high quality, bass, it’ll be from you. Oh, and thanks also for being so welcoming. It’s always nice to visit with you and see what all you’re up to in the shop.
Beautiful Bass. I’d like it really! I played it and I can say it is perfect!
