Post by: lidon2001 on December 25, 2008, 07:56:21 PM: Very nice Olie! I love that piece of coco and the blood wood caps on Roger's work are perfect. Now you need a couple additions to your arm art - a crown on top and a heart at the bottom. Welcome to the COTM Club.

Post by: olieoliver on December 28, 2008, 06:57:46 PM: Thanks for the kind words guys.

Something to think about on the arm art T. hmmmm....

Yep Adam is the only other person beside myself (with the excpetion of the factory folks, something tells me Mica might have plucked a few notes on the bass) that has laid hands on this baby. We don;t get out much. LOL

The bass looks great I agree BUT you wouldn't believe the bottom end and sustain from this axe. It is indeed a superb recipe;
body shape and wood, neck lams, scale length, electronics and craftsmanship add up to one great sounding and playing bass.
