Wow. and I thought the board on my incoming ACG was about as distinctively grainy as you could get!

I namechecked Alpha earlier in the thread while discussing why I was going to have an all in one Rosewood neck. Then I saw the new Alpha neck blank on their facebook page and I wanted everyone to see it cos it is so lush. It is entirely unconnected with my build.


Right ....that's me lost ! :mellow:

Pickup housing mounted from behind to make it more aerodynamic. Battery cover going in to battery cavity and 4 original string ferule holes being left just to remind me that it all started from recycling a Shuker 4 string body bought on here.

I could be wrong but that Tele of Dave's might be for sale if you're in the market for one?

I'm actually in the process of selling pretty much everything at the moment but thanks for the heads up.

I met up with Dave tonight and had a bash on the bass prior to finishing it. It is very lovely indeed. The unfinished neck wood feels abolutely superb. Like a smooth velvet. The 33" scale and low tension strings create a lovely springyness that I will hugely enjoy. The B is a complete part of the instrument. Good times!

I have an old P that has had all the varnish taken off the back of the neck. Obviously it is very dirty indeed, but it is far and away the nicest feeling neck I have (in a tactile way). It is just so very SHA-MOOOOOTH. If I was brave enough I would strip back some of my other basses but the whole resale thing then rears it's ugly head.

And here it is in all it's glory. I am really pleased with how it has turned out. The neck feels like velvet to play and the shorter scale is kind of addictive. Dave has been a delight to work with.
