Great! Reminds me of Elvis Costello's walnut stained Jazzmaster. |

This walnut finish gives such a cool retro vibe without falling into the "distressed" pitfall. Very well done! |

Nice! I'd been playing 6-string basses since getting my first, a Jerry Jones Longhorn Bass VI, in 1990, and I was desperate enough for a lefty to consider a custom build. Luckily I found my Schecter Hellcat VI.

Thanks Guys!!! Yes, the Elvis Costello Jazzmaster was a hint I gave the Luthier! That Jazzmaster has always been my dream jazzmaster, look wise. The only thing I liked less about the Elvis costello Jazzmaster was the not matching headstock. Soo.....!! About the distressed part. This Luthier is a Relic masterand asked me if he needed to Relic the bass. Id rather Relic it myself in the upcoming years so this is actually his first non Relic bass/guitar. This is his site by the way. http://www.guitarlounge.nl/ Yes, the Schecter Hellcat VI!! I concidered buying it. Nice, nice ,nice!!!! Thanks again guys for the nice comments! PeAcE!!

Hoi Jeroen, Indeed, he adapted a right handed Tremsystem to a lefty one. He wasnt able to find a lefty one. Me neither. Turns out the litlle pipe where the tremelo goes in is screwed onto that bottom plate. I always thought it was welded. So I guess it was a pretty easy conversion. And its steady! I think the tuners are Tone-pro tuners?!??!? Anyway, after a descent Sonicyouth session its still in tune! Yes, Angelo makes nice stuff! And he's a friendly guy. And relativly cheap knowing he made every part from scratch. And handwounded pickups!. Get yours today before he gets more expensive!!  hahaha
