I'm going on a short vacation in just a few minutes. But I didn't want to leave the Club without a new Featured Custom to enjoy. Please visit She and I hope you all have a wonderful New Year celebration.

Oh my god! What a masterpiece,
I love that unique neck recipe and body shape.
Congrats David !

Very cool!

Nice!

Another beauty!

the neck is whats getting me, its so weird seeing purpleheart on oneside, and then mahogany on the other while expecting those 2 laminates to be the same, insane!

Another SUPERB work of Art !
 
        Happy New Year from  me as well to everyone !

I think the only purpleheart is right down the middle. Ebony, Mahoganey on both of the outsides

I see what you mean, but part of the neck looks like it's pinkish, maybe just me

Oh, The Bird of Prey 5 string concept, with frets...  
 
I remember the Bird of Prey custom feature a few years ago.
 
The only thing I could conger up on those style of basses, is having a paper sign stating: Please Don't touch.
 
Without question, those basses are complete works of art.
 
Over the top cool.

I've always loved Val's Bird of Prey design but in quilted coco-bolo it just jumps to a whole new level. The positive/negative effect on the back is incredible.  
However, unlike Hal, I'd be encouraging everyone to play this instrument if 'She' were mine. Beauty like this is meant to be shared.

Wow, again a real masterpiece from the Mothership!
This bass is awesome.
Love it.....

She's a beauty and that's for sure...
I grabbed the widescrren version for desktop rotation

Oh no Jack, the paper sign was a metaphor to express emphasizes of it's exquisiteness; like a rare painting in a museum, or a fine arts galore.
 
I too, understands the great and immeasurable returns one receives, in sharing things with others.  
 
However to share something like this, requires owning. So unless somebody wants to give me this bass to share with you-all, I would be an unlikely candidate.  
 
Best wishes to Valentino's design.
 
Peace and Love -

Thanks to Mica and Susan and, of course, Val, for this one.  She is amazing every time I pick her up.  Shared her last year at the Chicago get-together and will next time we meet.
 
Best wishes to all for 2010.
