Christoffski83 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 HELP!!! Been searching on and off for the last few years about a name of a bass I fell in love with back in the early 2000s. Its driving me made and I’m wasting days trying to find pictures of it again. Need a helpful hand trying to find it again. Things I remember about the bass was that is a custom...really expensive bass, green with gold hardware, had the most immense pointed long horn that was a masterpiece itself! Possibly UK built. It did the rounds around the Guitar Live shows in the the early 2000s and also swear it had some right ups in some bassist mags at the time....where I first saw it. I remember everything about it was handmade and was sooooo expensive at the time. I even had pics of it up in the studio around the time but can’t find it online anywhere! So annoying? Anyone offer any suggestions of what it was? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 IIRC everything except the Lightwave pickup system and the body of the machine heads was custom made. The luthier was an (ex?) dental technician and therefore had the expertise to custom cast the various parts he needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveFry Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Is it true that the luthier would only repair parts one at a time to make you book another appointment for the next part ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
