For five minutes or so @AndyTravis … oh - you mean the ring 🤦‍♂️

I’ve never really given it any thought. It’s just there…

In my experience, for commission sales they ask how much you want your bass to be listed for when you bring it in, so that price possibly came from the owner.

It is a factory fretless, yes. So would be a very delicate job, I'd assume. Yes, with the bend well it's a 32" scale as standard.

Might need to relabel the fingerboard.

Is this a factory fretless? Has to be a short scale, because of the Bendwell.

Just listening to it right now, Kraftwerk meeting latin music, still excellent after all these years. Sometimes rediscovering his own discotheque is great.

Guys, Guys, listen... We picked up a nice, but very oddly spec'd Status S2-Classic 5 today and we're looking to get the lined fretless neck fretted. Obviously most Luthiers won't even go near a graphite neck with a fret hammer, but if you know of a brave one with nerves of stainless steel (like his frets!), please do let me know!

I have a reasonable degree of syndactyly. Nothing outrageous, but my fingers look much shorter than they really are. I simply cannot play with rings on either hand. I can't play with a watch on. Seems to constrict the tendons in my left wrist. Tried playing in fingerless gloves (because: cold) and that didn't work out well at all.

Not a fan of the slab body but that neck is gorgeous for a Fender https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1966-fender-precision-bass-slab-body/

Brilliant!! Hope that it all goes well. The vids of the previous Sundays for Sammy have been amazing. Such a great thing to to and such great cause. All the best for the night. Any special guests you’re in a position to divulge yet or is that all under wraps until the event?

Thanks @Bass Direct. I was intending to contact you and Bass Bros, but life is massively complicated at the moment and June is a lifetime away. DM me if you want to chat.

Wow - lots of Trace Elliot fans on here, although not really the new stuff!

Aside from the fact several are headless, I don't see any design similarities between Herr Schmidt's quirky & rather home-made aesthetic & the design & construction of the Bass Gallery Antbass. I doubt they're related.

He's also the guy behind this pretty delirious, but excellent project:
