Wow, that's some fancy details there... I probably wouldn't have paid the extra cost for that - I mean, imagine constantly having a 3D copy of a genitalia (albeit of da Vinci design) resting towards your belly while playing? Maybe the extra masculinity is good for the sound, though...
Looks like a nice model, though. High upper corners are probably a treat for German players having trouble reaching the E, such as myself. Beautiful wood and workmanship throughout. |

Lamarre's sculpting work is as usual quite stunning. For me, the decoration under the button is most impressive and I really like his violin corners. I've never been keen on his choice of tuners though. For a bass of that class and expense, even though he decorates the peg ends, for me they don't seem to match the work.
I'd like to see more detail on how his adjustable tailpiece works! |

Tuners..

You would be surprised at how many Italian makers put Hatpegs on the bases they made over the last 200 years as opposed to the better looking French or Baker style English gears that were available for the most part. Maybe it's the wood thing they had in mind thinking mainly of the tone. The less metal, the better theory. You think? Even Sergio Scaramelli uses them today on his Basses. I have seen them up close and personal. They work just fine. Scaramelli also put rosewood Rubners on my martini back in 1999 when he restored it. Back then, I didn't like them so I changed them out for the Krutz. Looking back now, I would have left them on if I had it to do over again. |

The tailpiece rides up and down on a dowel inserted into a hole in the endpin block. A set screw between the endpin and where the saddle would normally be locks the height.

Maybe some entry level basses are using some better gears then! |
