Anaconda Basses

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1393342246' post='2378998'] Looking forward to trying that sixer. Bringing my wallet despite Mrs C's advice to the contrary... although I'm also bringing Mrs C so producing said wallet could lead to an incident at your stand some time on Sunday ... apologies in advance. [/quote] Hahaha Rob. Looking forward to meeting you and the keeper of your wallet. Hoping for a great show. Cheers Andrew

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1393275598' post='2378224'] I'll be hanging around till 4pm on Sunday just to see Mike Flynn (BCer URB) play - just love his style... [/quote] See you there

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1393274366' post='2378190'] Brilliant! I'll descend on your stand with camera in hand and impending GAS between BC meetup sessions [/quote] Great, looking forward to it

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1386102113' post='2295890'] Welcome Andy, great to have you onboard. I love the look of your basses sir...very very nice indeed! [/quote] Thank you White Cloud. Let me know if you would like to check the basses out. I'm in North London. Failing which, hope to be at the LBGS in March 2014. Cheers Andy

[quote name='urb' timestamp='1386086581' post='2295529'] Hey Andy Urb is Mike Flynn... me - just my longstanding nom du plume around these parts! Just for the record I don't own one of Andy's basses but I can vouch for their supreme playability and tone - they look pretty darn lovely too - well worth checking out chaps and chapesses... Welcome here Andy Mike [/quote] Hi Mike Many thanks, hope to see you soon. Best Andy

[quote name='White Cloud' timestamp='1385287424' post='2286342'] Love the look of these basses...very nice! [/quote] Thanks White Cloud. If you are in London, let me know if you would like to try them out. Cheers Andy

[quote name='Mcgiver69' timestamp='1384950426' post='2282635'] Loved the sound and the look is superb. I knew there was something familiar in the sound, that Clock preamp is amazing. [/quote] Thanks Mcgiver69 Happy you liked the basses Andy

[quote name='fender73' timestamp='1384968898' post='2282951'] Lovely basses. Was at the launch and am currently doing the man maths about purchasing one. The tone with everything flat was awesome and small tweaks showed how versatile these basses are. All that, and Andrew is a lovely chap too :-) Cheers Graeme [/quote] Cheers Graeme. Good to meet you and glad you like the basses. Andy

Hahaha Wingnutkj I totally missed that. Doh! Very good. I'll have to be more prepared for similar comments. Hopefully you'll be able to check out the basses at some point soon. Btw there is a model due soon called the Constrictor

Cheers to all for the positive comments. Intrigued by the hiss comment. The preamp is Glockenlange which is virtually silent, definitely no hiss. I can only imagine that the hiss was amp induced rather than from the bass.

[quote name='PlungerModerno' timestamp='1384676773' post='2279281'] Beautiful, clean and sleek. What lovely basses! [/quote] Thank you PlungerModerno. My aim is to not only make basses that are Tone Monsters, but also look stunning

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1384699013' post='2279588'] Welcome, Andy! bert [/quote] Thank you Bert

[quote name='thebigyin' timestamp='1384704569' post='2279678'] Wow.....look fantastic.....cheers Bob. [/quote] Cheers thebigyin, appreciate the kind comments

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1384647187' post='2279216'] I think our own Urb has one of your instruments. [/quote] Really discreet, who might that be

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1384676397' post='2279279'] nice headstock shape and top marks for not spoiling the fretboards with pesky inlays [/quote] Cheers Steve-bbb my personal preference is not to use front dot markers, but if the customer wants, I give

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1384707146' post='2279723'] Cool - so people can come round and see the workshop and where they are made? Always works really well as a sales tool to give customers this option [/quote] Absolutely molan A recent customer sat with me for a couple of hours while I shaped his neck to his exact spec. Check him out playing his new bass at the Anaconda Basses launch event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMKee5OgyBc Feel free to pop round anytime.

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1384644088' post='2279187'] Nice looking instruments. Welcome to Basschat. [/quote] Many thanks ead

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1384640691' post='2279144'] Hello It's nice to see you join basschat I have spend many a time looking through the photos of your basses on facebook. All I can say is they look fantastic! Would love to play on but you're on the other side of the country unfortunately! [/quote] Hi Myke Glad you like the basses If you are ever in London and fancy trying out the basses, give us a shout. I plan to be at the London Bass Guitar Show in March 2014. Hope to see you there. Cheers

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1384640120' post='2279139'] Are you making these completely from the ground up? Carving wood, fitting frets and electrics, lacquer finishing etc. etc.? They look cool and very well finished [/quote] Hi Molan Yes indeed, I make the basses from raw timber and do everything myself apart from the lacquer as I don't have the facilities to be able to do so. Check out Anaconda Basses on Facebook. Plenty of pics of the build process. Cheers

Hi all Great to join Bass Chat. I am a UK bassed Luthier who's been custom building small number of basses over the past 15 years. In Feb 2013 I decided to switch careers after 25yrs in IT, to making Basses full time. Probably the toughest decision I've ever made, but one that is turning out to be a good one. My goal is to make available to bass players who would like to play a top end custom instrument but can't afford custom bass prices, instruments with excellent tone, great play-ability and awesome looks. My instruments are fully hand built, custom basses. Here's an example of my work, an Anaconda Crusher CXE5-Elite [attachment=148562:1426549_660609740636903_1943527215_n.jpg] If you would like to try out my basses, let me know. Feel free to ask any questions. Cheers Andy
