2008 Donald Gorman Bass!!

[Calvin Marks]

These are some photos of Bass Prof' David Currie's bass, I'm getting the twin bass made but with a darker varnish and shorter string length. (This one is set to 42")

That's a ridiculously small upper-bout! Or is it a ridiculously large lower-bout? Whatever; it's a really pretty and unique-looking bass.

hehe, the upper bout is small 18.5 inches across...the lower bout is about 29"

That's just beautiful maple ... is yours going to have the same quilt?

Ouch, well it's certainly not "normal" but then again neither is my build when it comes to being a "bass player." I've seen a lot of instruments shaped like that, it's really just a variation on Quinoils, the Pollmann Salzburg and Alexandria shapes. It sounds really good so that's what I care about the most.

The Upper Bouts are 19" and the lower are 28", if you scaled the lower bouts down to 26" and had less slope on the upper bouts it wouldn't look "weird." By the way, this was the best sounding bass I've ever played and Ed Barker just got the exact same bass.
