BassicLee Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 It's been a few weeks since I've posted any updates on this, as the guys at Alpher have been working hard on getting the finish perfected on the top. Here are a few photos from today..

BassicLee Posted February 9, 2014 Author Posted February 9, 2014 So, this weekend has seen a lot of progress! My Alpher Instruments bass is officially complete! Here are a few sneak previews, before the guys get their photographer in to do the proper pictures. Can't wait to get my hands on this!

LukeFRC Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 given how long that must have taken and my estimated cost of that... how do the guys at alpher manage to afford to eat? Quote
fiatcoupe432 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 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;-) Quote
fiatcoupe432 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 and btw man thats a killer bass!!!!!! Quote
BassicLee Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Cheers guys. I'm picking this beast up on Sunday (16th), so if anyone wants to give it a try, let me know. I'm based in Coventry. These guys deserve every ounce of praise they get. Supreme workmanship, great knowledge, and really friendly guys. This is only serial # 10, imagine what instrument number 100 will be like. Edited February 11, 2014 by BassicLee Quote
