Hey, just found this thread again so I thought I'd add a few photo's of the finished beastie.. my favourite bass out of our catalogue! (but then I'm a sucker for the les paul shape and always thought the gibson les paul bass could be so much better!) I'm even seriously considering building a few of these as the first of a range of stock basses and extended range instruments!

These are beautiful, LP is the best looking shape, and that one is gorgeous!
Martin from Ace Acoustics in Carey recommended Crimson to me when I said I fancied a custom jobbie!
Gonna have to start selling some stuff....

I need to spend more time in this forum! .. we're running about a year behind ourselves right now but I've I've changed from building five or more at a time, dividing my attention and causing no end of confusion, to building just one custom instrument at a time.. it is so much better being able to think about just one project.. anyway.. prices were mentioned.. anything I say here will just get me in trouble in four or five years when prices go up again but we're talking under £2000.. I really love this bass and would jump at the chance to build more.. so anyone who mentions this post gets 10% off! :)

Something else I've just added to our terms and conditions (and this is starting to sound too-much like self-promotion).. when you order your custom bass we'll agree a completion date and if I don't meet that date there's a sliding scale of financial penalties for me.. ie you save a bunch of money! I'm concentrating as hard as possible on getting our backlog down to a point where from order to completion is under four months.. wish me luck!

Ok, it's official.. I spend way too much time thinking about guitars and basses.. you say 'semi' and I immediately start thinking you're talking about some semi-acoustic bass or something!

12 string? Bring it on!! The workshop gets so stale sometimes building variations on just one or two themes, I love a real challenge...
