I bought basses from them on two occasions, a few days could pass before you gat a reply IIRC, but it was always a good experience. They seem to change their stock listings in a strange way, so if you are working from a bookmark it might now point to a different item.

have a look at some bach, there is a thread on here somewhere with a url to a website where you can download many scores free

I would recommend having a chat with Alan (Skelf) at ACG

Yeah, I thought Bongo when I saw it. Fantastic job, especially the finishing

+1 for the bad monkey, also if your any good with a soldering iron, take a look at the bazz fuss thread in this sub forum, half way down page one is a vero baord layout for a blender. Build that and you increase your options

There's a great link to a free spice simulation app on there too

wow, nice job, that looks excellent

very nice

[quote name='7string' post='551530' date='Jul 26 2009, 01:25 AM']Looks great. The wait will be worth it. [/quote] I'm sure it will. The hardest parts of the wait are not bombarding Alan with emails all the time, and not spending the cash on other stuff while the build is still in progress [quote name='Al Heeley' post='551533' date='Jul 26 2009, 01:30 AM']They really are superb instruments, I'm very jealous. Not sure whose it was now I got the chance to play at the Harrogate bash but it was so marvellous to play. Looking forward to seeing another masterpiece developing.[/quote] I was at the Harrogate bash too, I tried out four I think - two Harlots (one was Peters), a Recurve and a Skelf (both Alpha Daves). They were all fantastic basses. I'd already been in conversation with Alan and had a spec sorted out beforehand, after playing them I was convinced it was the right decision to have one built.

[quote name='bobbass4k' post='550801' date='Jul 25 2009, 02:15 AM']Well I haven't started building it, it may prove too complex for me (I can always get my electrician father to salvage it), just ordered all the stuff, that bitbox site is really good, had all the stuff I needed (except a chicklet capacitor, but they seem to be extinct) and a full £7 cheaper than farnell, I'll put up a finished thread if i ever actually finish it[/quote] wotcha building?

here's a pic of the back [attachment=29577:back_01.jpg]

That's a striking top you have there
