[swiens]

Thats pretty cool, how many hours did it take you to make?

@swiens

Thats pretty cool, how many hours did it take you to make?

Technically 2-3 hours over a few weeks of pondering on parameters then Lignum did the rest, lol. I think it’s about 120-150.

Don’t let the hours spent fool you this bass took about 6-7 months to make , lol.

[Wombat-metal]

Nice. It’s too small to be a whale, can we call it a dolphin?

@Wombat-metal

too small to be a whale

“Calf.” Whales do have babies.

First shark week now this. It’s like school every day but you know, fun.

Discovery channel ain’t got nothing on us

[AnotherJosh]

Shhhhhh…

I do not need another bass, I do not need another bass… Well, maybe one more couldnt hurt…

[booker_t]

Even your terrible photography can’t diminish its beauty. Congrats, @AnotherJosh

[JustTim]

That sub-octave bass Nate has is beyond mind-blowing.

[AnotherJosh]

Oh, I didn’t buy that. Yet.

[booker_t]

Obviously, your return button is not broken. It’s time to clear that cart.

[AnotherJosh]

This was an early Christmas present though, Stingray Eclipse Sparkle. As you can see, it is clearly not purple

[booker_t]

Yeah, buddy. Very nice.

[joergkutter]

Really cool - congrats!!

[HowieD72]

Thanks Jakub! Yes, that’s my baby! Hahaha. I like to get my basses exactly how I like them…the sound and especially the look. The pickups I feel were the “icing on the cake”.

[John_E]

Jeez Louise some nice purchases!!!
I wish there was something I wanted to buy, lol.

One thing to remember is that you have to go pretty big for amp/cab to be able to actually reproduce that fundamental tone. Like maybe some 15" speakers can, maybe. What you’re hearing over most other speakers is the harmonics above the fundamental (which still sound cool).

No bass amp/cab most people here will have could, most of those will roll off around 40-50Hz and even low B strings will be mostly harmonics over the fundamental. Even some expensive cabs still roll off around there:

But yeah it’s still cool. Not generally practical but cool. I could see it being a very happy-making present for a deep detuning metalhead

[Al1885]

You must be color blind. It’s as purple as the rain. I’ll PM you with my address I’ll examine that closer and you can pickup at the SoCal meetup.

[Adampalooza]

Beautiful bass. I looooove the necks on those Cirrus basses

[Al1885]

I disagree @howard it would sound just as awesome with the 3w blackstars amp.

You brought a great point, what amp do you need to play something that massively low.
