The owner of this bass, Charles Lambiase, describes the build as being made by “A humble 83 year old Master Luthier out of Pastore Music named Ronaldo Orlandoni. The man is an absolute tactician with his hands and genius with his mind. Whether it is a guitar or bass from scratch, an accordion from 1930, other instrumental maintenance, or your everyday repairs. Repping Northern New Jersey, Ronaldo is one of a kind.”<\/p>\n

…and further goes on to say:<\/p>\n

The bad bird 1 a unique first of its kind. The bass that has many elements of my original Gibson basses since I was 14 years old. It started out with me begging my good friend Ronaldo to build me a bass for so long, and coming up with ideas. Then coming to the drawing board with him was great because he envisioned it the way I saw it as well. I wanted to have all my experience with my basses into one itself, and it ended up being more than I could’ve imagined. The bass has a fret less Indian rosewood fretboard surrounded by walnut binding. Three piece mahogany neck. Dynamic early late 60s Gibson EB3 headstock with vintage style EBO tuning heads. Two piece flamed mango wood giving it that flying bad bird look. A Khaler tremolo for unlimited expression. A single Bartolini styled thunderbird pickup. A traditional concentric volume and tone control for a more spacious piece.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
