SuperSeagull Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I am about to be in the privileged position of being gifted a bass, a custom built Feline based on a 57 P. It’s a maker I am not overly familiar with - any other Feline basses out there? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Feline Guitars are a custom builder based in Croydon, headed up by Jonathon Law. I had some dealings with them many years ago when I was local to them. Edited January 25, 2023 by ezbass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yep. As someone from the Cronx, I know Jonathan pretty well and he's worked on my basses on multiple occasions. Lovely bloke and he really knows his $h!t. His custom stuff is really nice. He mostly does guitars, but he has made the occasional bass. He made a couple of copies of the Alembic Spider (the Explorer-shaped one) for a guy who played Entwistle in a Who cover band and they were fantastic basses.

Waddo Soqable Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I think I bought a few small bits and bobs from them, for something I was putting together years ago. As I recall the guy I spoke to was very helpful with ideas, advice etc, and was quite happy to share, despite the fact I wasn't buying an expensive guitar from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSeagull Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 All sounds very promising. Looking forward to receiving the bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fretmeister Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 His guitars are fantastic. If I was going get a custom Les Paul made I'd be using him without a doubt. He preserves all that is great about the original but makes them much more comfy and easy to play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the djent-y crowd, he was also helping out the Blackmachine guys with their production backlog for quite a while, and they were/are fantastic guitars if you like a big dose of "chug" in your life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
