holy crap! 15 piece laminate neck!!!
Man, if you’re going through the trouble to build such a high quality beautiful instrument, why not give it a tilted headstock and remove those crappy string trees.
and I suppose you can build such a unique instrument. art is in the eye and soul of the builder and observer. Think positive thoughts, turn off the bad vibes.
Awesome build and sound!
Absolutely gorgeous bass! Great job!
Google translate says it is Czech language. That is really really nice!
What language is that?
Czech 😉
Stunning work. Sounds fantastic also.
May I have one in 5 string please?
Yes may be in the five-string version. jan.ruzicka@email.cz

Music Truly Is The Universal Language
I am so very impressed I couldn’t take my eyes off of this great piece of art and I’m sure the sound is as fantastic !!!
very nice craftsmanship and looks absolutely stunning however it sounds rather thin which is probably due to all the lamination of woods, tends to sap the body of the sound.
Body – Poplar top, Wenge core and Ash back. Neck – Maple, Padouk and Wenge with maple fingerboard. Nordstrand pickups, Glockenklang 3 band preamp, Hipshot Bridge, Gotoh tuners, 34″ scale.
