Wow, looks quite pretty! Not a fan of the gold hardware though, and that bridge is mounted at a weird angle.
But I love the finish, and the blocks and bindings, and the choice of electronics

Hey guys, 2 weeks ago I was at a local music festival (soul food-fest) to see Bootsie Collins and he was amazing! While I was there a local band that was playing earlier in the day had a bass player who was just killing it and had an amazing looking/sounding jazz bass, after their set I got a chance to talk to him and he said it was a Bass Mods k5, I was already familiar with them through talkbass but didn't know they made basses. Long story short I emailed them about left handed offerings and even though my old lady vetoed me getting one I figured I would pass along the word. They are currently doing a lefty run of 34" inch scale 5 string jazz basses starting at $790, standard alder/rosewood or ash/maple, both come with blocks and binding, they have a bunch of different pickup options ect ect. I have no affiliation with them, just wanted to let you guys know about it. |
