Nice Oasis Bass on Reverb

Really nice Oasis fretless on the verb.   You don’t see these too often. 

Bill, tgo

Not familiar with the brand but visually it is Cute and Savage at the same time!

Oasis instruments were made by Gary Cooper, a former Alembic employee, at his shop in Sacramento.  Unfortunately he died many years ago in a bicycle accident, as I recall.    Several members here have Oasis instruments which were obviously influenced by Alembic.

I used to have one just like it but with frets. Sold it to a forum member. Kinda had a 70's look but with more of a 60's tone is how I would describe it.

Been waiting forever for the guitar equivalent to come up for sale. There's been a really plain one on reverb forever.
