I'm a big fan of them. I've got three, a fretted four, a fretted five, and a fretless five. I need at least one more, a sixer.

Bunny and me with my BB75P, BB75PF, and BB70P.

I'm gonna keep an eye on how this turns out. Because I'm planning on ordering a 6 string Icon fretless after Winter NAMM.

Just want to try one out at the show and see if the piezo option is going to be needed.

Im thinking of picking up a 6 string fretless I found for quite cheap..

Ontop of that, probably building a bass with a carvin 5 NT blank this summer..

No other bass company comes close to what I want under $2000.

EDIT: Scratch that 6 string fretless.. It was in HORRIBLE condition up close (guy did the un-fret himself) and it was like chipped horribly, and the body was dinged up badly. He was asking $400, but it would take probably 300ish or more to repair (probably needs a fretboard replacement, which on a neckthru is murder) so I said nahhh.

I do plan on getting a fretless carvin in the future Im thinking though..

The fires effected those guys alot! My favorite bar when I worked there burned down, killing 200billion cockroaches. I know that one of the owners lost his house and Ferrari collection.

I called them last week, asking if I could change the knobs from Black, to Rosewood. An option that they didn't offer when I originally placed my order, and they said they couldn't do it without charging me the $50.

Which I thought was kind of lame, seeing how it wasn't an option when I placed the order, and the fact that they're just knobs. It's basically, take from the rosewood bin, instead of the black bin

If I would have asked for a different paint job, then I understand the fee. But I mean come on....

....knobs!

The finishing process can take much longer than the actual construction process anyway.

Why not just ask if you can order a set of knobs and have them throw them in the case and you can install them yourself?

Scott · 01-16-2008, 06:02 PM

^Yeah, I was going to do that actually. Though from what I hear, from a hot little number named Popsyche, they don't have them in stock yet.

And, as a nice update..
