Alpher basses

Recommended Posts

I went to the North West Guitar Show yesterday and met up with the lovely Chris Dobson of Alpher Basses and Guitars.What a wonderful guy and I managed to blag a play on a couple of his works of art. The quality of them totally blew me away and I'm know suffering from the worst GAS I have ever experienced in my life.

If you haven't checked them out, do yourself a favour and do so immediately.

edit. Why I'm I upside down?

I have been following Alpher on Instagram for a while.
They have made some lovely Instruments.
I'd really like to have a go on one, but try as might I just can't fall in love with their body shapes.
The necks on the other hand look incredible :D

The necks are out of this world. I love the body shape and I normally hate single cuts.

I think once I was playing one I'd forget all about the body shape :D

I love the Cobia shape, love the Mako shape too. If I'm honest whenever I'm playing my Mako it doesn't feel like you're playing a Single cut at all. It's strange, something just sets the shape apart from all other single cuts.

Another vote for Alpher here. Really nice guys and absolutely stunning basses, I think I played 4 or 5 of them at the Northwest Guitar Show on Sunday and was consistantly blown away. That dark red passive 5 string was unreal! I think there's a youtube video of Scott Devine trying out the same bass. For a passive 5 string the low B is absolutely monstrous.

Here's my new BEATIFUL Mako Thinline, I'm sure this is a very recognizable bass, I couldn't resist giving her a home. I've had it for around 2 weeks now, I can honestly say it's one of the most fantastic sounding and playing instruments I've had the pleasure of owning. Obligatory show off pics....
