Crawford13 Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 I thought I was going to be able to contain myself about this build, but the more pictures Chris sends me the more excited I am getting I can’t wait to get my hands on this thing! I cant recommend Alpher highly enough, anyone looking for a world class instrument should really give them a shout! 6 Quote
Jimothey Posted December 22, 2018 Posted December 22, 2018 (edited) That's stunning!! 🤤 Edited December 22, 2018 by Jimothey 1 Quote
LukeFRC Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 Is wood bit with the two on it the neck blank? If so what is it? It looks amazing. Quote
Crawford13 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Yeah that’s the neck blank buddy, it’s roasted Birdseye maple. Quote
Crawford13 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Posted June 16, 2019 Update on this work of art! This pic is from a while ago, only just got round to putting it on here. The bass is really taking shape. Chris and Al doing a great job! 3 Quote

Crawford13 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Posted July 30, 2019 I got it home today and it sounds every bit as good as it looks! An absolute masterpiece. I highly recommend a chat with Chris if you are looking for a world class instrument! 2 Quote
TheGreek Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 We are blessed in the UK with some great bass builders. Makes me wonder why people buy mass produced instruments from the big companies.... Support the little man and get something unique.... 2 Quote
Si600 Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 We are indeed. On your other point, mass produced instruments have economies of scale behind them, as nice as Alpher basses are, and I'm sure they're lovely people to boot, I can't afford over £2k for a bass, but I can afford to buy a Fender. Admittedly mine was second hand, but I could have bought new if I'd had to. Having said that, a bespoke bass isn't completely out of the picture forever 1 Quote
