Unbelievable instrument exceeding all expectations… So resonate - rings unending like a piano …

I was just dropping cowboy chords on it having a blast… Then tried to play a little Stanley Clarke School Days … lol

That’s sweet man!

And your photo reminded me…

I finally got a table for my setup too. I need to post a photo once the disaster area is tidied up.

Fun fact: Frets probably had the same keyboard in the 90s and could play the part

Wrote a few movie scores on spec

Just a quick update because I have to bounce for a few weeks…

I play this instrument every day a little bit… It has a wonderfully soft and low action, but I’m not a bass player and I mute like a guitarist, which creates all kind of havoc/noise lol

I’m slowly learning new techniques. Progress!

It is so satisfying to hit a low octave A or lower and the room just fills w pure low end wonderment, but I can also play full chords, and walk a lead straight up.

Extremely versatile and I’m not even sophisticated yet.

What's going on with the neck? It looks like it's raised? What is the reasoning for this?

The volute?

The volute is a "handstop". just like another natural design on your ....uh.. thing. A "handstop" to prevent blindness or something.

 

[Hush]

Maybe it's just the angle of the shot. Looks sharp and way past the nut.

 

[fretworn]

I think it shows where the nut is in relation to the volute.

Keep in mind that the neck is two-toned and therefore there’s an optical illusion here.

Not an issue for me. I like the feature.
