G5 GK piezo Completed

If you're curious about the VB99

I've posted some soundclip of what it is about.
The unit is capable of a lot more , but it gives a basic idea of it's capacities.
Played with this Warmoth and a modified Carvin fretless.

Late as usual...
Very awesome!

So the tone of this bass... it's not too middy is it?

 

[fokof]

Sorry for the late reply , haven't come here in a while.....

I'll talk about the "acoustic" unplugged tone; Lots of sustain , A bit "middish"  Compared to an All maple I have but less than my Fender Jazz (US highway)  , I really like it's tone.
Don't know if it's luck , but no dead spot at all.
Good round low and nice growling top. I'm sure it would have made an absolutly fantastic fretless.

It's 8,5 pounds.

It's light compared to my other basses.

I just completed another one but this time with a Music Man neck and a Roland Pickup.
It's a G4 ,  I had to touchup the neck pocket to fit that neck.
This one is even lighter than the other one , it's 8 pounds !

'Side from the finished neck and the frets, I love the body.  :icon_thumright:

Really nice top, and I like the recessed top mount jack.
