My '07 Bubinga One Year Later...

[Carrera]

Received my '07 Bubinga 'Vette (passive) from member JSmith almost one year ago. Has been a truly wonderful bass, has never let me down, is super durable, and can still produce that lovely growl even with if my strings are getting dull.

Unfortunately upon arrival I only had some crappy cell pics to post up of the gorgeous wood grain, but I just got a new camera (Canon T3) and put on a wide angle lens to better display the beauty!

Guess I should clean the fingerboard soon!:

And I found a cool little trick this bass has to offer as I like to switch between finger style and plectrum quite frequently, sometimes even mid song.

Thanks to JSmith and Warwick for the best bass I've ever played!

What a beauty!!!
Have I mentioned before that the corvette shape is slowly becoming my favourite?

Thanx for the pics, man. Lovely bass.

Are you using a macro extension tube on your T3? Or some kind of fish-eye?

Nice pics, man.

Still miss this bass on occasion. Glad it's in a good home.

You should get a patent on that name!

Thanks Florin, I'm biased to agree. I think it would be perfect with a little bit of a convex shape on the top a-la Streamer.

Thanks! Yup, I had on a 18-55mm lens, and then on the thread at the end of it I had a x.45mm macro lens attached. It has sort of a fish-eye effect if not zoomed in like it isn't here. It helps a lot in bringing out fine details but distorts some scenes further away.

Still miss this bass on occasion. Glad it's in a good home.

Thanks again, it is fantastic!

What a stunning look! Congrats!

My vette doesn't look that good...

I hear they use JSmith's foreskin to cover the infield at Yankee Stadium!
