Beautiful work, the way the graphic follows the shape of the body is lovely.

My guess would be that this is sufficiently niche that a refinish would probably cost more than it would add to the value unless there's a collector looking for exactly this. Is it even possible to refinish without losing the graphic?

This was my thought. It tapers wider away from the nut too so you'd likely end up with a lot of dead space to either side using a standard 12-string bridge.

bump before I start to shred these

That is a pretty thing! I love how the bottom of the bridge matches the curve of the body, very elegant.

If you want to spend that amount of money on a Tobias-designed non-custom bass I'm not sure why you wouldn't get an export MTD. Aside from nostalgia I guess.

I'm holding out for the American Unprofessional range tbh

Looks very nice, but it has triggered one of my pettier pet hates - any product manager who specs a 4 string with the number 5 in the model name needs their ass kicked.

My kingdom for companies to announce things without making me watch a bloody video

Much better than the cricket bat style Steinbergers to my taste. Can we get NS and whoever specced the new Jackson Rhodes sharkfin bass in the same room and see what they come up with though

...how do you tune it? Is that the thumbscrews at the bridge?

2x boxes, each containing some combination of additional cardboard and bubblewrap. Free to anyone who can collect from Glasgow G51, near the south end of the Clyde tunnel and QEUH. Been keeping in case I sell something but could do with the space back. Happy for anyone to take either or both. Additional tat not included.

Just thinking about this is stressing me out 🙃

As a noted pointy headstock appreciator I'm here for it.

Is that a Vai style handle by the top horn?

It sounds fine, but pretty anonymous so far. I've not had the time or energy to restring it yet but I don't expect it to be terribly characterful. Looks cool though. There doesn't seem to be many about though.

I'm definitely feline something about it. Pity it's not a 5 I got one of the new ones recently and being "any colour as long as it's black" seems like a missed opportunity

I think my most embarassing one is when I managed to book tickets to go to a gig (to see DB virtuoso Edgar Meyer iirc) without realising that my band at the time also had a (totally different) gig that night, which somehow I didn't realise until they called me to find out why I wasn't at the soundcheck. Fortunately they were able to cope without me for one night but not my finest hour.

Now that I've given up Getting Mad Online as a hobby I'm mostly in my yellow hat phase these days I think.

That looks great, it's a very elegant design to my eye. One of the nicer headstocks in the boutique space imho

Yessss that looks sick, I love it, even if it is wildly impractical

Yeah I was hoping there would be something obvious I'd missed but will try getting in touch with them. Thanks folks.

Apologies, it is an L6H. Although it looks like the non-H would be the EP1-L6?
