It looks like quite a special bass- new to me though. A very detailed description with photos and sound files make for a convincing sale,
best of luck, joe[/quote]
Thank you very much ;-) I thought nobody is happy to know about a piece of wood, with only some bad pictures and a small description.
It costs a little work but it also costs money for those who are interested.
I don't want to rip-off somebody and hope that the bass guitar get a good home ;-)
Some extra Infos:
The bass was handcraftet in 4 months. I drawn the Bass body first, cut it off from a piece of styropor and redesigned it for a comftable handling
with an extraordinary design. Then i send it to the bass engineer Christoph Dolph and told him what i want to have and what he thinks about.
He made little changes to the design, to get the perfect balance for the bass guitar. He also gave me the hole time advices about wood-combinations.
The hardest thing was the amaranth fingerboard. It tooks a little time to get the right piece of wood. Also the idea to use Jatoba for the neck.
Never heard it bevor, but Christoph told me to trust him that this would be perfect to the walnut body and the red juniper top. From looking and sounding.
It was the right decission. It looks perfect to the body and sounding is (in my ears) damned cool with an endless sustain. Maple, what i normally prefer, would be to bright and Jatoba has nearly the same characteristics in density and sound like maple.
Oh something i've forgotten:
If somebody are interested in trading:
4 String Basses. Fender Jazz Bass prefered ;-)
