Brooks TeleBird

[BTL]

That's gorgeous!

[amptech]

Wow, you pulled it off! Not a big fenderbird fan, but this one is great. You have good taste, sir!

[gearHed289]

Looks like it was meant to be!

Lovely

Thank you guys!

I really love it Rob! Gorgeous! The first bass in ages of which I thought: What would it cost? Really cool. Better than I expected and my expectations are high with you!

And the Velp-decal is great!

This not to you but in general - and I understand you need lightweight tuners with a Bird-shape, so this is more towards Ps and MMs:
One thing I dislike with a lot of modern basses are the small tuner backs. I like the big Fender plates which touch eachother at the edges.

Yeah that is what I dislike about the Hipshot ultralite tuners.

I have even thought about using the Gotoh GB-640 tuners:




But I decided against it, because I didn't want to add the extra weight that the larger base plate of the GB-640 brings.
The GB-528 is a good compromise I think.

I like the bass and tuners which look wrong from the plater's side won't turn me off on any bass, haha, so also not on this one. And like I said I understand the choice.

It was more a general complaint towards Fender Mexico or Sterling by Music Man.

Just found out it's bass of the week at No Treble.

Congratulations Rob! That was very well deserved.

Hey it looks like one of your older basses was up there too!

Good for you, Rob! I hope this brings you more custom business.

This is a quick video that I made to show you how the Brooks Telebird sounds. The bass is plugged into my MarkBass SA 450 with Eden D210XLT cabs. Mic is a DAP PL01. Via my Minidisc recorder into my iMac. Video recorded with Photobooth.
