Monster Eats Orchid

Although Orchid was designed to ergonomically fit a petite player, watch Monster chew on the bass. He's 12" taller than Halie and outweighs her by 110 lbs. Because the bass also comfortably fits him, I would characterize this body shape as successful.

For now.

Heh.

  • I won't denigrate assembly lines — they build for the masses. I don't. This is something very different.

    If your music is art, if your vision is unique, I will shape the wood, bend the metal, solder the connections to give you the tool to let your beast run wild.
