This bass was designed from an original sketch sent to me by Mr. PUNCH. A little massaging here and there and we were off and running. The bass came out great. Even though it only has a two-band preamp it has a really cool natural midrangey-ness to it. When the bass was completed the maple dot inlay on the top and crazy figuring in the walnut reminded Mr. PUNCH of a hurricane, thus he's dubbed it "The Eye Of The Storm".
