Fanned Fret custom bass builders?

Aside from Dingwall and Novax, what are some other builders that offer the fanned fret option?
I'm especially looking for manufacturers in Europe, to avoid the import taxes, etc.

I know Shuker does, but I haven't got a quote yet.

Cheers.

Of course! Unfortunately their prices are out of my range at the moment.
I'm looking for a simple Jazz, in the veins of the Dingwall Super J, but for a budget of 1000-1500 pounds.

Drop Martin an email and explain your budget constraint, maybe he could do you a deal, after all in the current economic climate I doubt he has orders coming out of his ears. Worth a go, he can only say no and he might say yes :)

Thanks for the tip. I just sent him an email, we'll see soon!

Oh dear, I just found out Moses is now offering graphite fanned fret necks!

Unfortunately these are 35" to 34", however I just emailed them and asked if they're able to build one with a 34" - 32" scale.
If so, it's exactly what I've been dreaming of for a long time now! :brow:
