Less than 10 weeks to wait now for my Alpher

Im sure the logo is spelt wrong, shouldnt it be a T not an N?

im surprised he`s put all 4 tuners in and not made it a `3 string special edition` for those with sausage fingers like himself.

Last gig was Magnum in Newcastle, excellent, Catley and Clarkin are 68 and 69 and still do a cracking job, Al Barrow the bassist is really accessible on facebook and a decent bloke to boot!

unless its got a badass bridge on it!

Gorgeous, I do like a pointy bass

Couple of pics of the progress sent by Chris yesterday, first is the one piece Ash and the second is a pic of one or two clamps holding the top and bottom together, think he might be struggling with only a couple of clamps though [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/13522579_10157040435145405_938264551_n_zpsg3buqeui.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/13522579_10157040435145405_938264551_n_zpsg3buqeui.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s80.photobucket.com/user/jeffhop/media/13521098_10157040929125405_1475399172_n_zps6ttbfeaf.jpg.html][IMG]http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j186/jeffhop/13521098_10157040929125405_1475399172_n_zps6ttbfeaf.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Only 2 1/2 months to wait now

Anyone else notice the vocals carried on after the unfortunate incident with Meatloaf? maybe he should just call it a day.

Me, my Alpher is being built for my birthday in September.

If I got spoken to like that he would have been on his arse within 30 seconds

not in any particular order, Lemmy, Steve Harris, Billy Sheehan, Geezer Butler, Phil Lynott.

Ive got a spare gold 3 point bridge if you fancied the gold route

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1464706659' post='3061633'] This is a really nice piece of timer - I really like the patternation around the bottom half but aren't you going to be in danger of losing most of this underneath the bridge and pick up? IMHO it could be worth moving the body further up to keep this. Hope you're able to cope with the wait.... [/quote] Im going to leave it all to Chris`s expert judgement with regard to body positioning on the timber and its only getting a single pickup so not too much grain will be hidden, as for the wait....its only another 3 months out of 50 years to wait haha

Update, its going to be a 5 string and its getting a roasted maple neck .......happy days

A little bit of info, if your routing isnt deep enough for the long pole piece studs these use, just hacksaw the bottom off till theyre flush with the magnets, it makes no difference to the tone or output, ive done it.

I got a couple of cheap ones from China `Eno` or something that work better with my low B than my korg pedal!

verrrry nice!

Magnum tomorrow Get In!!!

Ive worked on a defretted block and bound neck and it was quite acceptable.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1463839460' post='3054493'] Nice well built basses. Very large necks however. [/quote] Cant agree with you there, i suppose compared to the waiflike SR series they are but I dont find mine particularily large and this is coming from someone who cant get away with a P neck.

Nice..I do like the ATK`s I picked up a mint ATK200 for a mere 120 notes a month ago, its the one with the triple pickup and Ive got so say its one of the most versitile basses Ive got, Ive strung mine with Fender flats basically cos I like the strings, heaviest bass Ive got though but theyre a very underrated bass.

It looks darker

im paying £2k+ for my custom birthday bass, am I an awesome player worthy of such an instrument ....Nope.....can I afford it ...yes, even after my recent unemployment state! do I give a rats arse that im getting a bass thats worth way more than my talent could ever justify?............nope.
