wow, some of those designs look really nice, they look well made too! We can't have enough luthiers on here! Good luck with the venture mate

I should also say that I'm at the manchester guitar show on 10th May if anyone fancies trying some of my basses.

Thanks D, WOW i love the Tordoff!!!! I do love the look of Koa...

[Eversonguitars]

Hi bubinga5

Glad you like them, the Tordoff bass was really interesting to make, you don't see many basses in Koa, and it's a shame because it is a lovely wood.

Interesting sound too, I was expecting a fairly traditional Jazz bass tone, but the chambered mahogany body seems to have given it a real woodyness on top of that usual mid range growl.

Great looking basses there, although a little too unusually shaped for my conservative tastes!

I find it interesting that Basses often seen to cross over into almost being a piece of sculpture or artwork, but guitars rarely do in the same way (there are exceptions obviously).

[silverfoxnik]

Very impressive, both the designs and the standard of workmanship by the look of it! Do you have plans to put soundclips up on your site as I think that would be really helpful?

[Gwilym]

i think your Custom Nouveau 5 looks fantastic. visually it has elements that remind me of a few other bass designs but still very much has its own character and it certainly appeals to me

Some nice looking basses there. Can you give us some idea of the prices?

BTW I would have a word with whoever built your site as it doesn't appear to render properly in Safari, Opera or Firefox. In the latter it looks particularly bad.

+1, would be interested in what kind of prices these will go for. I'm guessing that the site is still under construction as some of the links don't seem to work for me?

[Eversonguitars]

Hi there, yes the site is a work in progress and not all the links are working yet.

As far as prices go the top end fancy custom basses are anywhere from £1000 to £1800, the Nouveau Walnut 4 is £1400 but I'm taking offers.

The basses I'm currently making ( pics soon ) I'm calling my "simple" bass - they consists of a single wood body, maple neck with flat fender style headstock ( though still 2 aside tuners ), maple or rosewood boards and either passive J pickups or a single active humbucker and active circuit. Wooden scratchplates, jack plates and cavity covers and completely hand made..hoping to sell these from £750 depending on the spec.

Here are some shots of one of the new basses in progress

Cherry body, all maple neck, rosewood trim inlaid on the headstock ( will have matching rosewood scratchplate, back plate and jack surround )
Using Rio Grande Jazz pickups ( only ever used their guitar pickups before but they are excellent so have high expectations! )

This isn't a commission, building it for this years trade shows and magazine reviews so if you are interesting in owning it drop me a line

all the best

Paul
