peted Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I don't normally like singlecut bass with similar proportions to a Les Paul, but that looks great! More photos here would be much appreciated. Quote
Bassmonster Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 this looks superb!!, to be honest when i saw this build diary at the beginning i wasn't convinced, but seeing it now has change my mind Quote
Crimson Guitars Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Hey, just found this thread again so I thought I'd add a few photo's of the finished beastie.. my favourite bass out of our catalogue! (but then I'm a sucker for the les paul shape and always thought the gibson les paul bass could be so much better!) I'm even seriously considering building a few of these as the first of a range of stock basses and extended range instruments! Quote

wotnwhy Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 amazing on so many levels! the arch back combined with the fat bottom (oo-err!) getting thinner towards the neck looks really comfortable! the blue laminates in the neck are just sublime! also curious about the bridge? Quote

Martin from Ace Acoustics in Carey recommended Crimson to me when I said I fancied a custom jobbie! Gonna have to start selling some stuff.... Quote
Crimson Guitars Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I need to spend more time in this forum! .. we're running about a year behind ourselves right now but I've I've changed from building five or more at a time, dividing my attention and causing no end of confusion, to building just one custom instrument at a time.. it is so much better being able to think about just one project.. anyway.. prices were mentioned.. anything I say here will just get me in trouble in four or five years when prices go up again but we're talking under £2000.. I really love this bass and would jump at the chance to build more.. so anyone who mentions this post gets 10% off! Something else I've just added to our terms and conditions (and this is starting to sound too-much like self-promotion).. when you order your custom bass we'll agree a completion date and if I don't meet that date there's a sliding scale of financial penalties for me.. ie you save a bunch of money! I'm concentrating as hard as possible on getting our backlog down to a point where from order to completion is under four months.. wish me luck! Quote

If i win that £160 million then i'll be getting a 5 string version of that LP bass Quote
Crimson Guitars Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 If I won that much I'd buy one of everything ever made..mmmm, a dedicated guitar and bass museum! I would be my best customer!! Quote
Wolverinebass Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I've just got a semi after looking at that bass. If I was working at the moment, I would be ordering a 12 string version of that a la Doug Pinnick. Top gear squire!! Quote
Crimson Guitars Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Ok, it's official.. I spend way too much time thinking about guitars and basses.. you say 'semi' and I immediately start thinking you're talking about some semi-acoustic bass or something! 12 string? Bring it on!! The workshop gets so stale sometimes building variations on just one or two themes, I love a real challenge... Quote
