I enjoy your playing Mark, you definitely know your way around a fretboard! The slap tone on this instrument hits like a sledgehammer through my live rig. I get a lot of compliments on this bass and let everyone know the master craftsman responsible. I just changed strings and am reminded again how precise and focused a bass guitar can be. Thank again Mark, you are the man...RMS
Hey, Thanks so much! Rockwood is a name that Greg Curbow used for his phenolic impregnated birch laminate material. I call mine Ultralam, but this neck came from a slab of Rockwood I purchased from Greg many years ago. The knobs are acrylic and are machined right here in my shop in Florida. Please feel free to share anywhere you like..... and thanks again! Mark Vinciguerra www.vcustomshop.com
@@ryansampson8523 I am afraid my playing was not so hot on this demo of your beautiful bass…… if you wanna send me over any little audio snippet or any video of you playing it, I would love to share it!
I am working on some sound clips through a pair of Millennia TD-1 Direct Boxes. I would like to do a full review with lots of talking and probably some playing..😊 Some friends of mine have a professional location with proper cameras etc. I just need to schedule some time between their music video shoots.
Beautiful bass.
