I teared up a little looking at that.

What a stunning piece of craftsmanship, and so appropriate for today.

Well done.

I got to play his bass, I got to play his bass, I got to play his bass!!
What a bass it is and what a sound. Olie is a supremely cool guy, somebody everyone should get to know.
Good for you Olie.

Very nice Olie! I love that piece of coco and the blood wood caps on Roger's work are perfect. Now you need a couple additions to your arm art - a crown on top and a heart at the bottom. Welcome to the COTM Club.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Something to think about on the arm art "T". hmmmm....

Yep Adam is the only other person beside myself (with the excpetion of the factory folks, something tells me Mica might have plucked a few notes on the bass) that has laid hands on this baby. We don;t get out much. LOL

The bass looks great I agree BUT you wouldn't believe the bottom end and sustain from this axe. It is indeed a superb recipe;
body shape and wood, neck lams, scale length, electronics and craftsmanship add up to one great sounding and playing bass.

Here's a shot with the band. This was the first time I've played with these guys in 7 years. In fact seven years to that very night.
