Custom Bass Guitars...
I build to custom order and also sell my prototype instruments when available.
– see instruments for sale in the Gallery – I can build
from basic models to carved top or hollow body styles to your standard of
specification. I can inlay into the body or fingerboard any design you require.
Also any finish can usually be applied to your specification.
Pickups, hardware are your choice, if required I will build or upgrade pickups.
Any wiring options can be catered for, active or passive.
Any body shape or neck shape can be specified – no extra charge for
left-handed.
The woods I generally use are as follows.
Body
-
Mahogany
-
Walnut
-
Maple
-
Ash
-
Poplar
-
Iroko
-
Afzelia
Different combinations of these woods can tweak the sound to your requirements.
Neck
-
Mahogany
-
Walnut
-
Maple
-
Rosewood
These can be made 1 piece or laminated construction, quarter sawn or slab sawn
dependant on style.
Fingerboard
-
Rosewood
-
Ebony
-
Maple
These will always be quarter sawn for stability and less shrinkage.
I usually use Jim Dunlop (USA) fret wire as I have found this best for choice
of sizes and longer lasting that other makes
With all these woods I use fully seasoned and stable stock, the grade of the
grain pattern is your choice. Obviously I can help guide you through your
choice of wood combinations and hardware needed for your instrument.
