Thread: My favorite bass

  1. #1

    Default My favorite bass

    I was lucky enough to snag this gem off ebay recently and thought I would share it with you guys. It a Tricera model and was made by Justin Hoffman at Overture Guitars, which has, sadly, ceased operations it appears. I have never liked single-cut guitars, but this one caught my eye. It was made for a NAMM show, and Justin Hoffman/Overture Guitars had a presence on multiple social media sites, so I was able to find a bit of info on it. I also spoke to Justin briefly after obtaining his phone number from the Overture website where this bass was pictured as an example of his work. But, after I spoke to him, the website was taken down. I guess he didn't realize it was still live and didn't want anymore phone calls. Anyway, I have been very impressed and pleased with the bass and it is the only one I play now. I found some images from his myspace page that were taken before the finish was applied and the others are from the ebay auction. There is also a link to a youtube vid where it is being played at the NAMM show.

    That purpleheart is a very nice accent. I have it in the neck on my Tobias KB6 as well. Generally not a fan of the large upper horn basses, but that one seems a little more balanced than some I have seen. Enjoy!
