Members speddling Posted June 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ok! Here are a couple shots and a real short take of my typical noodling. very short, very limited sample of it plugged right into my sound card. I'll need some time to relearn the high B and E :hiding: First impressions... is it is very familiar from the get go. Maple & Ash like my others, but with that cool little color wenge adds to the mix. I've been fond of Musicman's for a long while, it's good to actually have a MM style pickup in a bass. I had to give the neck about a 1/4 turn more relief... I've come to realise I lack the finesse a lot of you have. I need to have some bashing room :ninja: Fred carves a great neck, very close to my fretless 6 in feel. The Acrylized neck is just UNREAL! it's silky and very easy to play. Rock solid!!! Stiffest, stablest neck EVER!!! Larry @ www.galleryhardwoods.com Fred @ www.beebasses.com and Ron Thorn @ www.thorninlay.com all get my respect and thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members willsellout Posted July 1, 2006 Members Share Posted July 1, 2006 GReat man...I'm glad you dig it! It seems that you would be the last person that would need "bashing room":D. Considering how well you play you would figure it would be a very light and quick touch. But hey whatever works for you! Dan:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I've always played on the hard side... too many early years listening and learning Who and Iron Maiden tunes. I have lightened up a bit over the years, but I still prefer my action a little higher than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members speddling Posted July 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Originally posted by bottomfeeder how much does that weigh? It's not a light bass, but it balances perfectly on a strap and is actually a pound or 2 lighter than my Fretless 6. Anyway, I spent a little time recording this morning...

Members brake Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Originally posted by el_duderino676 Holy bejeezes that is HUGE! It's beautiful, though. I'm guessing it's going to have a pickup that looks like a rock and costs more than a house? glad to see people still appreciate my lame sense of humor! that bass looks sweet, man. what're the materials?

Members willsellout Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Let's have a guessing game. For that particular bass I think it cost $5,293.55 Whoever gets closest gets one of his Benavente's:D Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely put the MM pole peiced PJ set in my Destroyer after it gets painted and the Kahler installed. I'd order on in my next custom if there is one as well.
