Yeah. Frites are seriously amazing. That’s what I was talking about with Jörg above.
I thought the Belgians were responsible for this. I mean they happily say they are
Maybe the Dutch Belgians?

First of all, I don’t know if I can get behind that line of thinking,
To reiterate all the basses I own are above my skill level lol

For me it would be a Warwick Buzzard. I dont even like Warwicks but I played a Buzzard and it was the most amazing bass I’ve ever touched…

26 frets chambered body nuff said. The neck feel especially long due to the body design. I have a Katana NT it’s a similar body style the first time I played I thought I was playing 35” scale, lol.

I made my own Pino relic. It’s pretty good although it didn’t really make me feel like Pino but it’s good none the less.

It’s a beauty! Also, I am curious about that black plaque between the JJ pickups on the bass behind. What does it do?

It’s called a bass ramp. That one is made out of ebony. Its helps providing a consistent contact under the string helps you play faster and not digging into the string.
It could be flat but its usually radius to match the curve of your fingerboard. I 3D printed some for my bass for a quick and dirty job.

That’s super interesting. Can one anchor to the edge of the bass ramp while playing?

Absolutely, and it’s perfect spacing to just right above the E string unlike the traditional thumb rest position an inch or more away.
