4 string Burr Elm Diary

That is true craftsmanship but combined with SUPERB judgement of colours, shapes, effects and combinations.

This is in another league to anything I've tried or even seen - it really is World Class stuff...the buyer won't be able to wipe the smile off his face for years

Great thread and fantastic, fantastic bass!

I bow, humbled, before you, master

Thanks m8

[adledman]

i just hope you will still sell it to me for the previously agreed £150. stunning work

[scojack]

Think i may have to do a discount on that price ....seeing as its taking so long !

[EdwardHimself]

£150!? That's a steal.

[Jabba_the_gut]

That really is a stunning looking bass.

Fantastic and individual.

This one has a customer, i have only just taken this lutherie malarky up again after a long long gap, anyhoo... i was intending to build one or two for sale this year and maybe another EUB[/quote]

That's a shame, your previous EUB build looked really good, as does this. I was going to ask how much you'd charge for an EUB as well.

Good luck with the move anyway, hope you get settled and back to making basses as soon as.

thanks Gareth,
Was really looking forward to a summer in 't' shed making sawdust, instead ive been up to my elbows in plaster and cement.
Ah well ...... theres always next year in a bigger shed to look forward to

as mentioned above the style and choice of woods are exceptional on this bass. its too easy to throw everything at designing a bass to try and be different from the next and there are some pig ugly creations out there to prove it. this just oozes class and i cant wait to see it finished. of all the boutique basses i have looked at lately and there is a hell of a lot of them out there, this one is by far my favourite. stunning.

[scojack]

Thanks for your comments adledman much appreciated.
Its now fully lacquered, hoping to assemble next week.

Finished bar the strings n setup. Doubt i'll get back to it for a while as the big move is this weekend. Overall i'm pretty pleased with the result, few things i'd change but fairly minor stuff. Roll on next year !
