The ESP LTD B-5E 5-String Bass made short work of the Luthman Lady M Bass. She was a tough girl, but with the final vote of 9-3 for the ESP, the lady must now relinquish the crown!
To face the new champ, I found this delicious little number from a newcomer, Matthieu Combe. He's so new at this bass building biz that his website isn't even fully prepared yet!

However, I managed to discover his design on the LuthiersAccessGroup.com website. They discovered him at the NAMM show.
Meet the Matthieu Combe Alys 5 Bass.
34″ scale 5 piece Ash neck
Rosewood fretboard
Delano JB pickups
Cocobolo top and headstock caps
Alder body
Matte finish
There's not much info on this one just yet, but as far as looks are concerned, who needs more?
More pix of the Alys 5 HERE. (there are little arrows by the sides of the pix to navigate)
And so, we have to find out if the Matthieu Combe Alys 5 Bass has what it takes to unseat the new champ, the ESP LTD B-5E 5-String Bass.
