These are pretty cool. A lot of doom metal/ sludge guys play these. Coincidentally, the guy that builds them, Sasha Dunable, is in a pretty good band called Intronaut and their bass player is a lefty. Joe Lester; also plays in Secret Chiefs 3, or did when I saw them. Killer show... https://www.premierguitar.com/articles/ ... -intronaut |

Since we're all picking shit apart lately I'm gonna have a go: I'm so over these $2000 basses with the $50 garage finish jobs. When did skipping grain fill become a thing? It looks like a job I attempted in my garage that went sideways. Fill the grain people. All this is a cop out of a proper finish job in the name of some kind of back-to-basics hip thing. All that work building a nice instrument so the finish can start rubbing through or flaking off in a day? I'm all about natural finishes and seeing the grain. Hell, I prefer natural finishes. But fill the damn grain and make the thing smooth to the touch. These basses along with Sereks are only halfway completed imo with a price tag of a finish instrument. End rant. |

Normally, I'd agree, but this is Wenge, a naturally open wood grain... you just don't fill this wood in... Warwick uses it a lot in their bass bodies.. |

Can’t remember what the bodies are. But yeah, on Wenge, no fill needed. It’s freakin gorgeous. |

Only the neck and fingerboard are, the body is mahogany  Warwick bodies are mostly bubinga, ovangkol (on many Thumb BO's), maple and ash. |

Digging this thread up again, as I recently watched a cool cover by the Two Minutes to Late Night crew, with Jeff Matz from High on Fire. I love High on Fire, and Jeff's tone is immense.. he's a Dunable guy: Cover here: https://music.mxdwn.com/2020/06/22/news ... ndys-room/ Back to the Dunable, I was impressed to see that all three of their basses can be configured left-handed, with a good collection of choices: https://dunableguitars.com/collections/basses Alright, just enough time to slap on some corpse paint and rock out before dinner time
