Drool.
A truly beautiful design & craftsmanship however I truly need to hear this lady to see if she has that streak which would allow her to be part of the session tool box rather then a gorgeous limited well crafted instrument
She is sooo beautiful!!! With your excellent choice of tone woods and other materials I bet she sounds sweet!!!
The knobs under the pick guard is a great design idea! Respect to the designer/builder most definitely. Also the unique shaped port holes are very cool. They look like the outline of random lakes from a map. Very cool and inspiring!
Danial, you are a masterful and very tasteful and skillful designer / luthier. This piece is truly a thing of beauty, work of art. I just want to play it. Very inspirational, thanks for sharing.
Stunning. Original, earthy, natural. Wow: I would love to hear it. BestBassGear: it would be great if you start adding where the makers are located so some of us that live near can seek out a visit, or maybe include a visit when traveling. Thanks!
Why aren’t there any photos of the whole bass with no obstructions? IMHO you shouldn’t even feature an instrument unless all of it is completely visible in at least 1 shot.
What a beauty!
It is a very nice instrument. Does it play and sound as good as it looks? Is it a bass one could purchase?
Beautiful !!!!
Truly beautiful design and execution. I would love to hear it.
Beautifully done! I love the subtleness of the fret lines!! Every fretless lined fingerboard should look this beautiful!! The scale reminds me of the first electric fretless, Bill Wyman’s old faithful bass… wonderful!!
