Jealous me ?
You bet your arse i am,stunning bass.
I'm going over to Alpher on monday to get the pre on my Esh swapped for a John Eash jobbie.
I wonder if i will be forced to place an order for something :)

They have this way of 'making' you order something rather than 'forcing' .. I think it's whatever they put in the tea/coffee they offer you instantly on arrival haha!

[/quote] :D i've resisted so far.
Mind you if they hadn't utterly aced the frets on my wick I might have been tempted by other basses.... :D

This looks wicked! Any chance of some more pics of back of neck, was it literally 1pce ebony? Does it have any neck dive, I'd imagine that to be a heavy neck!? Fab ideas and execution :)

Hey :)

This is indeed a one piece ebony neck :)

This particular piece is no heavier than a wenge neck so there are no balance issues.

Also we use hipshot ultralite tuners and we have a relatively small headstock which all help.

I will try and get some more pics up soon

Cheers

Chris

I had the pleasure of having a quick play on this bass on monday & it is absolutley fooking gorgeous,the pics look good but in the flesh it is a masterpeice.
It plays beautifully too,no neck dive & infact it isn't a heavy bass either.

Its true what was said about the Alpher guys though,Chris "made"me buy a bass from him,i had no choice in the matter :)
