[quote name='BassBalls' post='34336' date='Jul 19 2007, 10:03 PM']That is a very nice bass. Does your friend have a website?[/quote] Not for the moment, he told me it's under construction. I can show you his first two beauties : A nice fretless 6 (his real 1st wood work !!!) A gorgeous fretted 7 (trying this one made me want one) :

I hope it's really better than Silver Rain... but the number of covers makes me doubt...

My Hemgé Singlecut 6 : First contact : This is the 3rd bass made by my friend Martin Gobet, and it's a real killer !

As his original specs were exactly what I was dreaming of in terms of comfort (string spacing, neck thickness, etc) and the construction was something completely new to me (singlecut, ebony fingerboard), I did not hesitate a second. I defined with Martin the choice of pickups and electronics, my most wanted feature was a full 3 band eq with param mids.

I'm sorry, I'm new to this forum and did not notice the pinned one. I'm going to double post my first post, then Maybe it's time to lock this thread, if it's not good to use it.
