A new pic posted on Facebook. Slightly ungainly headstock IMHO.

 

 

I find it familiar....

That headstock is not to my taste but there is something I like about these basses though I would never play one myself, I think it's cool somebody is trying to build something that looks a little different!

 

That body shape sort of looks like a cross of a fodera monarch and a spector ns2.

Between these and Brute basses, we do have some cool luthiers in the UK! 

 

Shame my bank account won't allow for anything like this 😂

Headstock veneer made from a piece of 5000 year old subfossilised black oak.

Sorry, this body shape is just as bad as the others IMO.  Can’t fault the craftsmanship though.

That’s a beauty, almost looks like a bass 👍

That is such a cool touch. Real artistry and attention to detail.

I think the craftsmanship looks fantastic and from the electronics being offered I think they will sound amazing too.  Love when bass builders design new shapes. However, I dont like the shape of the four string.  Love the double cut SM2 basses in five and six string format.  If i was looking for a very well built modern five I'd look at a Jones SM2, not sure how they play though.

 

Any owners out there?

I recently came across this and I know it's a clone on the "you know what" basses but I think Mark Jones, the luthier, is heading in the right direction.

IMHO, there is nothing wrong in cloning. Sadowsky, Mike Lull, James Tyler, Suhr, Overwater etc etc.

 

The craftsmanship on the basses seem to be very nice. Best of all, it's Made In England.

 

Just wondering if anyone has tried out these basses. There isn't much information or review on the Internet.

 

Merry Christmas ALL!
