Merry Christmas and welcome Mart

Last weekend we have been attacked by terrorists. You didn’t really think we had gotten into the Viagra business, did you? It seemed our website had been hacked. We are almost clean and safe again, probably by the end of this day. Sorry if we’ve caused you any trouble.

Well, just a few more days and it’s Christmas. We want to thank all of you for trusting us with your instruments and orders, you have been great customers :-)
2009 has been the best year ever for us, we are truly the BLESSED bunch. And 2010 will be even better! We have some fresh ideas, so stay hooked and you’ll be the first to know.
What’s VERY exciting is our new website. You know it’s coming, just a few more weeks… It will be off the charts, you may want to spend hours there!
And what’s also VERY exciting is that we will have Mart. Mart is a trained repairman who will step up to the next level of his promising career. Welcome to the team, Mart.

We are going to end the year relaxed, so we will close at 25 dec and open again at 5 jan 2010. Our shop will be heavily guarded, see pic ;-) We will start the new year refreshed and ready to serve you. Merry Christmas, happy Newyear, be blessed.

Listen to this!

While we are working hard to finish the bass of Glenn Gaddum jr in time, we want to share with our faithful readers a piece of art, arranged by Viz. This song is well known as Once upon a time in America, originally composed by E. Morricone. Viz rearranged it and played all the instruments. Sit back and relax for a moment, hit the following link and close your eyes… Play the tune!

We have new straps!

We have new straps! Excellent quality leather straps in black and dark brown, with our new logo. (we will launch our new site soon…) But that’s not all, we also have an extra wide, extra thick (padded), extraspecial dual coloured strap, for all those dudes with heavy instruments. Or for those who just like the looks of those XXL straps.

2 basses we made for Matthias Bangert

Here is the other one of the 2 basses we made for Matthias Bangert from Germany. It is an Origin Deluxe 6 Fretless. This bass amazed us. The sound is soo sweet, it sings everywhere on the fretboard. It was not easy to give it to Matthias… Specs: alder body with poplar burl top. Maple neck with blackwood fingerboard. Pickups are De Gier/Haeussel, preamp is Aguilar OBP-3. Again, special feature on this bass is the custom body-shape. We moved the lower horn 2 cm into the body for better access to the highest frets.
