fusdepilee Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Wow this bass is going to be awesome! Alpher are an amazing company - just about to complete an order for my very own bass beast from them, customer service is just unreal. I will probably be starting a progress thread of my own but will be following this one with interest Quote

BassBus Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 I'm a bit late to this one. Like the specs on the bass. The therapist in me looks at the facing wood and wants to ask the question; "what picture do you see in that"? [size=4] [/size] Quote
fiatcoupe432 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 more progress guys........ im all wet Quote
