Jerome Little, Little Guitar Works, Austin, Texas (USA) built this beautiful blue burst Torzal Standard 5-string bass. Maple/wenge neck, wenge fingerboard, swamp ash back & figured myrtle top.
The bass also features TOONE & TOWNSEND bridges. Note these are prototype bridges, fully anodized aluminum, from our beta test program. Jerome liked them so much he asked if they could be used on a client's instrument:
"These bridges sound great, and the look and function is all totally solid, as expected...I've built enough similar basses to immediately recognize what I would characterize as a very pure, clear, open tone, quick response, long sustain." (Jerome Little)
Jerome has contributed significantly to our test program, and you will see his suggestions on the production bass bridge, most notably as a string slot for drop-in string loads.
Bass bridges are now available. Shipping in approximately two weeks. Contact us for details and pricing.
Unbelievable piece of art Rick! I enjoy coming on here and reading your posts and seeing the progress on the gear your making. Great work and I can't wait to see more. Please keep me in the loop!
