Thanks for all the info guys! Some of the companies I did not know yet. And some lovely basses I like ARGH's bass that has been made by Jim Fleeting a lot. I have a a little bit of a designer backround and I love it when a bass still looks awesome and cool without the use of AAAAA grade maple or a sunburst finish. Just simple woods, yummie I put Jim Fleeting on the list of¨builders I will definatly contact. On the bad side: I wanted to use my christmas bonus for a bass but my house has a leek in the front wall which has to be repaired and will cost lots of money Hmm I have to wait for a couple of months. The good side is that I can think some more about what I really want. I feel like a kid in a candy store that can only buy one candy

Thanks for the welcome wotnwhy! And you are right, meeting the person in person would be nice indeed. I live in The Netherlands and the only builder that I like from my country is Adamovic. I am planning to give him a visit soon. But before i do I want to see what the other options are in my "Neighbourhood". Uk is not so far away and it would be a good excuse to travel over the water and meet an English builder. I haven't been there for a while I like the RIM basses, I did not know about him yet, the pics on this forum look great. Jerzy is nice but to far and not really what I'd like. The Shuker designs are beautifull but to 'standard' for what I had in mind. thanks for the info

I am thinking about ordering a custom built bass. It would be my first custom order. Although there is absolutely nothing wrong with the vintage looking basses (Fender Gibson etc) they are not what I like to see. I like it when the basses have lots of carving, curves and rare woods (call me an idiot but that's my taste ) I figure a good builder can build a good sounding bass wathever the looks are! So why not buy a bass that I like the looks of? I know some builders from the Net but most of them do not build what I like. These do built what I like: Carl Thompson [url="http://www.ctbasses.com/"]http://www.ctbasses.com/[/url] CB basses [url="http://www.cbbasses.com/"]http://www.cbbasses.com/[/url] Browne Basses [url="http://www.brownebasses.com/"]http://www.brownebasses.com/[/url] Adamovic [url="http://www.adamovic.nl/"]http://www.adamovic.nl/[/url] Does anybody have experience with ordering a custom bass from these builders Are there more builders with similar designs? preferably in Europe!

maybe not one of the weirdest basses but it is one of the nicest I have seen!: See also [url="http://www.adamovic.nl/"]http://www.adamovic.nl/[/url] Does anybody know more about this builder? [url="http://imageshack.us"][/url]
