wow,,,,just beautiful

hi there, here few more progress on the instrument, body clamped with the top and custo wizard pickups have arrived so exciting...........

[quote name='Jellyfish' timestamp='1392819538' post='2373060'] Most brands with low resale value. Two that I've had personal experience with are [b]G&L[/b] and [b]Ibanez[/b]. If you have around £350 to spend, the [b]G&L Tributes[/b] are amazing, both the 4 and 5 strings and, as long as you can get on with the feel of it, it'll stomp on most other things in that category for versatility and quality. The [b]Ibanez[/b], at least for me, was a similar story. Bought a 5 string Prestige for £600 and it was only since trying out other, more expensive, basses that I realised what a silly price that was to pay for such a good instrument. Perhaps I'm being a bit biased here, but the [b]Alpher Instruments[/b] range of affordable basses, their [b]Prime[/b] range, is stupidly good value for what is essentially a custom built instrument. For £999 you get an instrument with pre-defined pickups and a small selection of woods to choose from but that is put together in the same way that their high end basses are. Compare that to most other popular brands and it comes in at under their prices for an instrument that's hand build in the UK. And if you're worried about having not heard much from them, just take a look at the recent reviews in this months Bass Guitar Magazine. To get something of that quality for £999 is crazy. I know there's one on my list. [/quote] +1 on the alpher ! great instruments and quality ! the prime range is amazing ! if alpher started to make instruments ten years ago i would have saved so much money..........

i dont have any issues in writing music or create basslines its just that when you come to improvise need a different knowledge ! today i had my first lesson with steve berry ! he s a master! great teacher and player . today pointed out all my mistakes ,something that no one did it before! was the best experience i had ,even if cost a bit more then i can afford but im still gonna do it! invest all money and time i ve got !

http://alpher.co.uk/ website is under construction at the moment but you can go to their facebook page or instagram to find out more

ehy john , i know you are in london but if you decide to take a trip north , its really worth to stop at alpher !do you know who mister geppetto is? this guys are better the mister geppetto! their work is incredible

if not does anyone reccomend a good bass teacher in yorkshire?like leeds ,york ,manchester area?

Hi there been trying calling him, texting him for few months now but no reply seems impossible ! does anyone knows how can i contact him??

and btw man thats a killer bass!!!!!!

They simply build amazing instrument thats how! when i ve been the first time in chris and alex they had about 5 finished basses and few on order ! 3 months after they got really busy with orders ... theyr attention to detail and craftmanship its unbelivable . i reckon that this time next here they will be one of the busiest and best bass builder in uk! i had a chance to play few alpher and i was left astonished in the end i just order one..... after i ve owned the best basses on earth (roscoe,adamovic,sadowsky , wood and tronics )i dont regret selling them at all , i just found that the guys in saltaire are incredible and theyr instrument comes from different planet if you have a chance to try one in alex and chris you will buy one;-)
