Hi folks

 

I have always loved the look of Gibson EBs, possibly/probably  influenced by some of my favourite bassists using them, but I have been able to find 'that' bass.  Not easy to find a luthier who offers them either, however I noticed a build by Alex at AGH and asked him if he would make me something similar and here we are.

 

Specs in brief are:

 

Rosewood top over a 5-pc maple wenge neck through with cherry wings, 32" medium scale.  Lower horn shaped to suit me so somewhat asymmetrical.  Artec Mudbucker with series parallel switch and a Thunderbird style bridge pickup.  V/V/T controls.  Gotoh and BadAss harware (mostly because they were in my spares drawer).

 

Sounds mega!

Lovely looking bass. It has a slight vibe of the Warwick Jack Bruce Signature bass about it, too.

To my eyes anyway. 😊

 

It does somewhat, but thankfully considerably cheaper :)
