Members James Hart Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've ordered a new bass from www.beebasses.com It's going to use some highly figured Bubinga I've had waiting and will be a new body style created for NAMM 2009. I'm going with a wenge neck through set up that will have mahogany body wings Here is the bass style Here is my wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dDigitalPimp Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 i like the old west style font they use for the "outside/inside" thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members James Hart Posted February 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I vote for the outside version. That is how I think it's going to be... with the Wenge showing all the way through to the end. I was originally planning a fretted 4 but it will most likely be a fretless 7 now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassplayer7770 Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 That's nice, James! I think I saw on...another forum...that Chris (82Daion) ordered a Skjold recently. I've been considering options for a custom 5-string myself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LanEvo Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I like the double down-swept horns. Sort of reminds me of a Linc Luthier in reverse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members i_wanna_les_paul Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 You must post pictures when you get it! Duh. Otherwise he will not have a bass. That body style is growing on me, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members James Hart Posted February 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Get the white one, too! Actually, Fred is keeping that one as his new main bass. He's been playing it at church since NAMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members James Hart Posted February 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I might be going blind, but where's the nut on that thing? There ain't one :poke: Fred uses an angled headstock with a zero fret. He notches the extended fingerboard to guide the strings. It makes playing in first position feel more like you are fingering down at the 5th or so... it really helps make the playability of his basses uniform all over the neck. Here is a headstock shot of my fretted 7 and just for being an attention whore, my youtube of the 7 [YOUTUBE]i5GH84kBdMg[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members s4001 Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 That Rocks. At Namm, those, Pelosi's and (of course) the Ric C64 were the oly basses that really stood out to me. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
