I can see why. That is one lovely bass!

I didn't even have time to make a little video of this bass. My customer needed it for the next gig on wednesday, so he picked it up yesterday. Literally one hour after I had turned in the last screw.
But I think there will be some live footage of his band.

I do have a video of a previous bass that I built with similar specs (except it has a rosewood fretboard instead of the ebony. And it doesn't have the maple top).
But I am not really happy with the sound quality of the recording (and my own playing...) as it was also a rush job   :-[

These are really great tones. I wasn't familiar with that pickup, but it sure sounds good in this bass.
