Brooks Thread

[Dave W]

Sounds as good as it looks.

You don't mention a preamp, is this just the tone of the passive Lace? I hadn't heard their MM version. I approve.

[Basvarken]

Thank you.
Yep, it's a passive bass.

Those knobs should go to eleven.

[Basvarken]

Those knobs should go to eleven.

Haha, yeah! 
I actually tried to find them for silver reflector cap knobs. But couldn't seem to find any.


I have them for amber bell knobs




And black speed knobs

Killing it as always Rob! That's such a understated beauty 😍

[godofthunder]

Absolutely amazing! I can picture Entwistle playing that!🔥😎

[Basvarken]

Look what happened last night in Toronto.

Tom Petersson (Cheap Trick) playing a brand new Brooks bass!

[BTL]

That's the pinnacle, right there!

Perfect.

[Rob]

Nice!  Too cool and what a compliment.

***UPDATE***

The bass was found. And delivered at Tom Petersson's address today! It appears to be undamaged.

That black twelve-string bass that I built for Tom Petersson is only half the story.
I built another twelve-string bass for Tom. And they were finished simultaneously.
Both basses were sent off to Tom's address on June 29th.
The black one was delivered four days later.
But the other one (with quilted maple top) still has not been delivered. UPS has lost the package...
I filed a claim for investigation on July 16. But still no sign of the bass to this day!

I am gutted.

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that it will show up in the UPS warehouse after all.
But if you should ever see this bass for sale, please do contact me.
