Beautiful work, Rob.

I made a quick video this afternoon.
I used Photobooth on my iMac. In the first attempt the sound quality wasn't that good. Somehow I couldn't control the input level. So it kept distorting a bit in the lower frequencies. Here's the second attempt with the input level set much lower.

I like it. The mahogany must be why it sounds mellower than the same pickup in an ash body/maple neck Fender. Either that or it's the dark finish.

Looks and sounds GREAT, Rob!

Thank you guys.
@ Dave: yes, it does sound rather black doesn't it?

I've been getting some really great reactions on this bass! Two ace players from The Netherlands tested the Brooks EB-PL Noir and wrote some cool quotes about it.

"Black is beautiful, but it sounds great too! 100% balanced sound in every position. With a nice growl to it, that makes it cut through. This bass is a love baby from Rickenbacker and Fender, trapped in a vintage Gibson body. A piece of art."
Ivo Severijns (ex- Herman Brood & his Wild Romance, ex -Kane, Waylon)

"I absolutely love it when old school meets new school! This bass has the looks and feel of a classic Gibson with the sound of a Telecaster bass on acid. It's simple yet very diverse. From a warm vintage sound to a killer modern rock growl... This monster has it all!"
Rob van der Loo (ex-Delain, Epica, MaYaN)
