bubinga5 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 There has been alot of excitment about his basses. One of which I own and it is just superb. But his playing is also very cool.

Conan Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 A great player who makes great instruments! Sadly , recent currency fluctuations have put my custom specced Elwood a bit beyond my reach though... One day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I hadn't quite got as far as exact details, but the main one would be colour: purple with matching headstock! Passive, maple board with pearl blocks, probably his own pickups (as I've heard very good reports about them) or EMGs... I'm still pondering! Oh, and four string. A bit like this one.....

I used to own a Geddy Lee J bass with EMGs in it, and it could certainly growl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Not previously familiar with this guy's work at all but having had a gander at his site. Don't normally care for P basses but I'd make exceptions for the Elwood C and X on finishes alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Pratt's Jazz is loaded with EMGs and is a great example I like the Nordstrand Singles too and if Aguilar's offering sounds as good as their DCB pickups then those would be cool to try out in a Jazz.

I'd prefer something more like the "purple flake" Modulus, but without the flake. G&L do a lovely purple as an option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
