It's a truss rod cover.

Sneaky!!

Here's a quick video that I made of the Brooks EB-N.
(just me noodling on the new bass)

Beautiful work...and great playing!

Basvarken · August 31, 2019, 07:11:30 AM

Thank you Carlo.
I was actually saying to myself that I really should pick up the bass more often. Because my playing has become incredibly sloppy and rusty over the last few years, since I'm not in a band anymore.
Making this little video took me quite a few takes to get it acceptable...

Dave W · August 31, 2019, 04:25:08 PM

Sounds great, Rob.

Very nice...

The bass sounds excellent, and the musician is darn good!

Nice!

The back looks like a little 4005.

I see what you mean Ilan. The way the upper horn and the lower horn follow the same curve.

I made a new video by the way. I wasn't very happy with the recording quality of the first one. It has too much distortion in the low end.
I didn't have any proper recording equipment to go into the iMac.
So I bought a Focusrite Scarlett Solo to get a decent signal into the computer.
At least the the sound quality has improved a bit.

Rob · September 08, 2019, 11:31:19 AM

That does sound much better.
Do you always frown when you play?

Basvarken · September 08, 2019, 11:57:03 AM

Haha, only when I don't know what I'm doing

Maybe I should join a band again

Dave W · September 08, 2019, 10:11:30 PM

That does sound clearer.

Nothing wrong with your playing.

Rob · September 11, 2019, 07:25:59 AM

Well those pictures irrefutable. . . a band is good for you.

Basvarken · September 11, 2019, 09:04:18 AM

Haha, that isn't always a guarantee for success...
