Yeah, that one is very nice, @paul and @John_E ! . . . :slight_smile:

I like the nice, clean, smooth look . . . and the black + chrome only design . . . :wink:

Their angel and demon themed instruments are amazing. In a work of art way. I wouldn’t want to actually play one :slight_smile:

Wow - that actually is pretty amazing

The Demon looks like something by the artist Coop. (tried to find an appropriate example but this is a family-friendly site :innocent: :joy:)

The funny thing about the angel there is that in the end, it’s gonna sound like a Les Paul anyway :rofl:

LOOK at those KNOBS. :smiley:
I had to check this monster out further. Doesn’t look like a moveable pickup (totally thought so too, @jonathanhaynes43 ) but punchy doesn’t begin to describe the sounds it makes.
30 frets!!! (all seemingly easily accessible!)

Love it, although I just have trouble with the headless look…

And I feel like it’s calling for the “independent bridge” (or whatever that’s called where each string has it’s own “bridge”) look…

And what’s with the fretboards that have more frets for the higher strings? Does that have some specific functionality or is it a look thing (other than adding a few notes on the high end of the bass’ range)?

30 frets? Is it super long scale or something?

Correct. You don’t need them on the lower side, as you already have those notes.

Of course that’s true of all strings but the G. But yeah.

Plus on many basses the lower strings can sound kind of meh up there anyway.
