Beach Serenity
Sometimes you just need to sit on the sand and watch the sun, sky, and ocean create visual goodness.

Ibanez 5 String Remade with Multi Color Silver Leaf Finish
Completely rebuilt Ibanez bass with unique silver leaf finish.
This bass started life in 2016 as a plain black Ibanez.
It was stripped down to bare wood and rebuilt with new parts and refinished using a proprietary silver leaf gilding technique. The only original pieces are the body, neck, and nut.

Michael Tobias Design Fretless 5
“Hand crafted in the Czech Republic for Michael Tobias” – that’s what it says.
Apparently MTD Beasts were only made for a short period of time around 2001. This one has a low serial number so I would guess it was born around that time frame.
However, it has changed and grown since then.
Our Beast has lost its frets and gone active while developing 4-conductor dual coil Bartolini soap bars instead of single coils. It’s voice changed abruptly with a Bartolini NTMB 9v preamp and grew a knob in the process.
Many other changes have occurred.
