I would purchase this bass if it would let me play 1/100th as well as Roy Vogt:)
Alas, it won’t.
Wayne R,
Why would they mix green with blue , seems other colors would be more appropriate , anyhow it still looks good and well built. !!!
I don´t like this mix too, even on Pedulla basses.
Take care, Mark!
The price isn’t bad for a bass with all those features. If I can put a piezo bridge on it, I’ll get one.?
Pretty cool, but I wish Carvin/Keisel would support wider bridge spacing. 16.25 mm? What is this? A bass for ants?! /zoolander
