Luthier's Access Group...Crescent Moon Bass

***SOLD***Eshenbaugh Black Forest 5
Well folks, I was duly impressed by our first bass by Mark Eshenbaugh , the Brado 5 (which appears to be taken ). This new example from Mark goes one (or two ) steps beyond. A singlecut, set-neck design, something I have not seen before. This bass plays like a dream, sounds rich and articulate and is stunning to behold. Let me tell you, basses like this challenge my ability to be a “responsible” businessman – I constantly need to remind myself that this bass is here to be offered to our friends in the bass community , NOT bought, kept and enjoyed by me. Well, I WILL get one for myself, someday soon. Bet on it.
