Everson Porn Thread

[Budgetneil]

I couldn't see any other Everson threads so I thought I'd kick things off...

Here is my Everson Cocobolo Through-Neck, custom made by Paul Everson and collected at Bass Day in Manchester last year.

Spec:
Body - Ash wings with Cocobolo top
Neck - 5 piece Maple/Wenge laminate thru-neck with Maple fingerboard (+ cocobolo binding, fret markers & headstock facing)
Pickups - Wizard custom "Jazzbuckers"
Controls - Volume per pickup, Kent Armstrong 3 band active circuit, active/passive switch with passive tone control, single coil/humbucker switch per pickup and finally a series/parallel switch
Harware - Badass bridge with thru-body stringing, Gotoh machine heads

It plays like a dream and sounds great. To say I'm chuffed with the results would be something of an understatement!
With all the switch options it is ridiculously versatile as you'd expect.

The design of the bass was born out of discussions with Paul up at his workshop and based on features found on his standard styles but resulted in a new body design, longer than his standard bodies (I'm a big-ish bloke, I'd look daft with a tiny-bodied bass!) but keeping the Everson styling cues.
I first came across Everson Guitars in Bass Guitar Magazine's "Woodshed" feature and then met the man himself at Bass Day a few years ago. Collecting the finished bass from last year's Bass Day was the proverbial icing on the cake (although trying the bass for the first time surrounded by that many bass players was, erm, uncomfortable!).

Cheers Paul, from a very happy customer!

Any other proud Everson owners out there?

Can't say I've ever heard of them before, but it looks great!

[Budgetneil]

Cheers.
They're a small, low volume builder of bespoke basses based in Lancashire. He has some standard designs but in my case that was just the starting point to come up with something unique. Very helpful chap.

Played a couple of his basses at Bassday a couple of years back and was very impressed with both the tone and feel. Great instruments I thought.

Very nice, I like the body I may have to use that shape as I am a large lad too and am having a bass built with Paul to my specs with his opinion to keep me under control. What's the acsess like to the higher frets?

[Budgetneil]

Fret access up at the dusty end is spot on, no problems at all.

I joined the club today. This is the Caiman T-4 they reviewed in BGM last month.

That ^^ is a real thing of loveliness. The horn shapes are superb.

Thanks Rich. I'm a little bit in love with it.
