The Latest

Here are the lastest three to leave the shop.

This PT 1.5-5 with the nice looking anigre top will reside in Denmark.

This pair, a VB-5 and a CBSC-4, were made using matching woods. All corresponding pieces for each bass were cut from the same boards, either as bookmatched or consecutive cuts. These are going to our favorite bass playing attorney turned magazine editor. You know who you are!

Getting Close

Here are a few basses that are getting close to being shipped off to their new owners.

LeCompte VB-4 In Action

This is Marciano Cantero. Bassist and vocalist for the latin rock group, Los Enanitos Verdes (The Little Green Men). http://www.losenanitosverdes.com/ They've been together since 1984, recording and touring the world...and still going strong. These shots are from a recent tour of South America. As you can see Marciano is playing his new LeCompte VB-4 with an ash body, maple neck and fingerboard, and sporting a single Dark Star pickup...just the way he ordered it. Thanks for the photos, Marciano!

Summer NAMM Wrap-up

We had a great time. A special thanks goes out to Nordstrand Pickups, Dark Star Pickups, Audere Audio and our booth mate Kenny Allyn and his Mojo Sonic cabinets. It was a lot of work leading up to the show and all the way around, but it was worth it. We had a lot of positive comments about the basses and we're looking forward to our next show.

In the mean time here's a link to some photos and video from the show.

A View From The Paint Shop

I'm still hacking away on the basses for the NAMM show. Here's a peak of what some of them currently look like.

Remember, some of these are for sale...
