Orchid

"The bass is nothing short of magnificent and I am so honored to call it mine. It's motivating me to be the best player possible and to have so much fun with it. I'm really excited to find Orchid is a killer slap bass machine!! I already have the hang of being a better slap and pop bass player. The bass looks like it belongs to me and I can tell it's going to be a part of me. I brought Orchid to my lesson today and my teachers were so in awe! When I commented on how beautiful the curves of the bass are and how I felt it was petite and almost feminine for me, they responded by ensuring me it was not feminine at all but a good heavy bass. It has a balance!! It's amazing and feels almost aero-dynamic. It's light to the touch and fun to play. I can't wait to rip down its fretboard. Thank You Rick!!! It's beautiful. I'll take care of Orchid for you =]."
