7string Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Good question, but the 7 string thing runs to my e-mail address as well. Collecting the Sei 7 was a day when one of my life's ambitions was fulfilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) I'm surprised I hadn't put any pictures in before now. Here's my gold Warmoth '54 Single coil P bass. It has a mahogany body, wenge neck & ebony fretboard. Gold Schaller machineheads, Gotoh 201 gold bridge, gold frets, gold Schaller straplocks, SD quarter pounder, CTS 500k pots and paper in oil cap. And normally gold Optima strings, although the Rotosounds on it just noe are beginning to grow on me. Body is finished in the sparkliest of gold finishes. Like with any custom bass, I took a big risk since if it failed to deliver, it would be worth 3 pound peanut. I have to say that it is without a doubt, the best bass I have ever played ever. Although I didn't make the body or neck, I did put it all together and set it all up to my liking.

Totally Unique "one of one's!" The 5 string. Fretted Body- Wallnut Neck- maple Fretboard- rosewood frets- 24 Pickups- custom built by the builder design- yours truely built by Howard, from the bass place in nun street Newcastle. The 4 string. was fretted now fretless body- tulipwood neck- Maple Fretboard- Rosewood Frets- 24 Pickups- custom made by the builder defretted by KGB Pacific Road, Birkenhead design- yours truely built by howard from the bass place in nun street Newcastle. a lot of people ask me why tulipwood body- i was a lot scrawnier back then (in the days!!!!!) and I found something the weight of a fender really uncomfortable! this one you can balence on one finger............ you can wear it all night and it weighs nothing hardly! its gorgeous! what you think?

Some very strange habits. They were not good payers however which gave rise to the saying 'as tight as a nun's knicker-leg'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAgent Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 First bass built for me buy the guys of Cobelens & de Bruyne, of whom I am an endorser: Maple body, merbau top, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, Seymour Duncan Basslines soapbars, Aguilar OBP-3, Wilkinson tuners, ABM bridge. Because I'm not 100% satisfied, so they're building a new bass for me that's smaller, lighter and has nicer wood: Same pickups, preamp and hardware, but it has a downsized body made out of ash with wengé laminates, spalted birch top, maple/wengé/greenheart neck, ebony fretboard.

I can show you his first two beauties : A nice fretless 6 (his real 1st wood work !!!) I'd love to hear how the fretless sounds. Got any samples?
