Love it! Alpher basses are looking so good. the body walnut is stunning but the maple top is gonna be amazing - cant wait to see the finished pix

Ohhh very nice

As everyone else has said above - I got an amp from Simon, It was a very very easy deal with good communication and amp was very well packed. It doesnt get any better than this!!

[quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1378664991' post='2202977'] The action may feel high if the nut is cut a bit high. If the humbuckers have 4 wire connection (one pair for each coil) you could disconnect one coil for that jazz Pickup sound. [/quote] +1 If fits hard to fret it's most possibly nut is too high rather than the bridge, but probably both.

Buy a cheap ebay neck and make the body. Making body isnt too hard if you've got a router and time and you cant go too far wrong with it if you take your time. From what I've heard some of the cheap necks on ebay are actually quite good. If that works out good then you can always try making a neck but in the mean time you've got a working bass Or buy a squire, cut 5mm off the top, stick on a fancy wood, shape it, route out the back and hey presto you've got a bling bass for not a lot of cash and thats easier than making a body. If cutting 5mm (or whatever) of the top is too much for you to do get someone else to do that (1hr job) and sticking a new top on is easy

There is nothing like playing a bass you made yourself ! Its not a cheap way of getting a bass though, just the hardware alone can match the price of a good 2nd hand bass.

looks finished to me.... Gonna be nice!

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1376928782' post='2181041'] You should spray it blue a little so you can still see the grain through it.. and get the best of both worlds [/quote] ohh yer, your right (in my eyes) Add blue Stain to the lacquer

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1376916974' post='2180765'] I've taken it apart and sanded the marks out, and I was just going to tru-oil it this time and once that's finished and dry, shoot a can of clear nitro over the top for a hard finish. [/quote] I think Cellulose reacts with Tru-oil, so if you go down that route test it first on a scrap piece of alder. It is a nice piece of alder, how about rustins plastic coating, super hard finish that buffs up to very high gloss and dead easy to apply?

Status half-wonds Good tension without being too tight or too loose like TI's - I love TI flats and love the low tension Sound acoustically just like chromes

waiting for photos !!!!

really nice - looks superb in the flesh!!!! Looking forward to scratch build 5

[quote name='rubis' timestamp='1375164060' post='2157347'] That looks absolutely incredible, how does that Delano sound?, I have a 5 string project with one of their alnico MM pickups and it's very impressive [/quote] Hi I've use a hybrid before and LOVE em, it's even better with the added neck pickup. I really like the definition of the delano stuff, clear but without sounding sterile and harsh. Delano sonar preamp is one of the most neutral sounding preamps I've ever heard (which is what I want). I've got a MM5 dealno lined up to go in another one soon - cant wait for that. Ta Dave

Thanks for cool comments....

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1371732341' post='2117466'] Hey, that was my photo (used to be my bass)! F [/quote] Oh I LOVE that bass, its in my top 5 all time favourite basses, sorry for stealing your picture but porn like that must be shared

NIce classy look to that! Like it

How about making me a 3/4 EUB - I cant seen to find the time to do it myself, I'll give you a crate of beer
