Something that looks really good from big F. Journeyman Cocobolo Jazz Bass by Jason Smith. This one’s headed to Sweetwater.

Really nice book-matched top wood there. They should’ve left the unnecessary burst off, though.

Or, preferably, just done it better, more subtly.

But this was made in the F Zone, so all bets are off on that being a likelihood. :joy:

:100: Agree with this, something like where is it near the lower end of the body near the bridge. Too much so on the horns.

It’s just a half-assed job. Custom builds are pricey, but at least you get what you pay for.

This is a shame because Cocobolo ain’t cheap, and this is a fine piece of wood. It deserves to have been in the hands of a better builder.

Yeah that is wicked sharp. Really like this Alembic model. Here’s another with Cocobolo as well.

Very cool bass!

I found this review of the 4 string Nidhogg and it sounds really fantastic!

Yeah +1. I wasn’t going to comment on the burst because it’s Fender and this is pretty damn good for them, but… yeah.

Thank you.

It’s not scheduled for release until October. WIth current affairs the way they are, I would expect that to be put back to November at least.

There’s a lot of hating on Fender at the moment, but this is a cool bass. And check out his pedal board!

Great player and a world-class sound system.

Decent bass.

I’d venture to say any bass with a good setup and set of strings would sound good under those circumstances.

Finally one I can dig. Have not been impressed by any of the ones after @Al1885 ’s BassBuzz GnG bass.

Of course to each their own, but I can dig this one, cuz, well its got some orange in it, so, yeah!

I saw this video today in BassTheWorld and I think it looks cool. It is by Baum, and has the same looking pickup from the Baum Nidhogg. The brushed golden metal pickguard looks so nice. This bass is available on 4 different colors (I’ll put the link to the manufacturer below). The black with gold looks very nice.

Small but important point.

The Nidhogg has a single coil Alnico V pickup. The same ones are in my Wingman.

The Pace Bass has the split coil P Bass type pickup.
