JohnFitzgerald Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 Thanks to @kodiakblair for putting me in touch with the builder, this is currently underway. Herrick pickups Lusithand preamp. My drawings provided to the builder for templating. Inspired by a well known bass, but with one or two intentional deviations, in the interests of not being an exact clone. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a great, patient approach to the process. A very neat and methodical worker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodiakblair Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 What always gets me is I'd known about his 'Super Yob' guitars for a year to 18 months, had posted photos on a few forums, before I found out he was just up the road 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassApprentice Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I know these things are very much down to specs and materials, but what sort of price range does he sit in? If I were to commission a bass, being able to support a local guy would be handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to commission a bass, being able to support a local guy would be handy! That’s probably something you’d be best to discuss with Mark. I’ve added on some nice parts to the spec on mine, between the electronics and top. i was only quoted a ( very fair ) price after I’d been and spoken with him and discussed every tiny detail. He’ll quote you a price range if you contact him, and this is pretty much right st the top of that, and then a bit, taking the electronics into account, but I’d still encourage you to get in touch with him as you’re unlikely to be shocked with how high it is.
