It seems like a 1581-style would really punch out the acoustic bass sound I'm looking for. I'm afraid to ask, but what's a ball-park figure to have something like that made? | ||

He had me take it out of the case and I played it (unplugged) on a noisy outdoor deck. Y'don't just "hear" it as much as you "feel" it while playing it. I think it might've loosened a couple of my fillings. That thing is just . . . "sick". | ||

Question: do we assume that those in marketing believe that an Adamas bass won't succeed in the market? There is, after all, and Elite Bass and a Viper Bass (if they are still produced). | ||
