Fresh off the bench!

This is a new bass design I have been working on over the last couple of years. The bass is one of the first short scale basses to come out of my studio. It may be short but is has the sound and power of a much longer scale length.

My main thought in making this was for it to play a feel like and extension of the player comfort a fast easy neck and tone that has no lag holding it back Every piece of this instrument is meticulously crafted by me right down to the shells and knobs.

    These basses use a twist from the bridge to the head which puts your fretting hand in a far more comfortable position and helps reduce RSI and other arm and wrist related problems. I very rarely see one of these up close.

    From my collection this nexus, built in 2017 this is one of my personal favorites, a solid powerhouse bass that is at home in all settings whether it be Jazz, rock, blues, metal this bass has it all. I built this bass with a fatter P style neck, but this doesn’t impede it the neck is a fast as any other that I make the bass has some wear and tear but is in perfect working order.

    A bass like this today sells for $9000
