I think Tads with that long buttcap are just sexy...someday maybe.
Yes. I had a Tru Balance conversion done with a extended Delrin butt cap.
Not exactly a Tad but a bit Tadish.
The extended caps and unique ring work is what always does it for me.

I have always wanted a Tad. This is such a beauty. The killer for myself is I seriously dislike little Doo Dads on the end of the points.
I would never own a cue with Doo Daded Points.
In other words, Kev likes this cue a lot.
I have always wanted a Tad with Doo Dads on the points. Maybe I will bid the crap out of it. I'm bored.
Just kidding.
I still dislike Doo Dads.
Makes them look like "decal" cues.
eBay / PayPal are legally robbing Sellers and laughing all the way to the bank.
I have paid as much as a $4,400.00 fee on a high-end Luxury Watch Sale.
Mighty easy money for them in my opinion. With over $4m in gross sales,
they have robbed me of a Fortune.
Back on Topic ... I am lusting after that Tad in a bad way !
It is not a CT, I actually built that with my friend Tony. I've been heavily influenced by Carl Thompson as well as Abe Riviera, Fodera, Ritter, ect. I always wanted one but never had the cash and always wanted it modified so 8 years ago I started the design process. It took me all that time to acquire the tools(and learn how to use them) and I finally convinced my friend to help me as he is a phenomenal woodcrafter and bass player. This is my dream bass in every way, ergonomics/sound/aesthetics and will always be a one of a kind. The back is carved to match the front and I did it all by hand with knives and scrapers(no pencil lines just my good ol eyeballs) in an old world technique!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! That is awesome!

Thanks for sharing, awesome bass. I just dropped 4k on a Sadowsky and I'm not sure if I'm satisfied. I'll trade for yours!
