  1. First Reiver Guitar. All the woods used where supplied by Tasmanian Tonewoods. The guitar was built for Robert the owner and one of my main suppliers. Carved Blackwood top and back with Houn Pine core. She Oak finger board with 7 piece Celery Top Pine/Myrtle/Houn Pine/Blackwood. Schaller 3D bridge Hipshot Locking tuners, Dunlop Dual Design straplocks. P90 pickups into an East Tone Lifter circuit volume 4 way selector. Satin finish.
  2. That would be stripy ebony. Most have headstocks just a few without. Alan
  3. Spec Camphor Burl top and back with a Flame Sycamore body. Bubinga/Flame maple neck with a bookmatched Acrylic Impregnated Spalted Maple finger board. The fingerboard and the Camphor both came from Larry at Gallery Hardwoods. Custom 15 mm string spacing ETS bridge/tuners and ABM headpiece. ACG SB pickups and the EQ01 pre-amp. Oil finish.
  4. A bit more done on Dave's bass. The pickup routes have been done and the tuning unit attached and the bass strung up for the first time. The pickup is just there wired straight to a jack to give me a signal to tune the bass and check the intonation in order to get the position of the bridge unit containing the saddles.
  5. More done on the Finn today. Neck carved and the body contouring mostly done. Pickup routes done as well.
  6. First 4 string single cut. Amboyna top mahogany core with a flame sycamore back. 5 piece maple/mac ebony neck with an Ebony finger board. 2 RFB with the ACG EQ01 pre-amp.
  7. 4 piece wenge/bubinga body. 7 piece maple/wenge neck with an Acrylic impregnated Ziracote finger board. ACG EQ01 pre-amp with 18 volt supply, ACG FB pickups with coil switching,low battery indicator. Hipshot Type A Ultralites and Schaller straplocks. Finish lacquer.
  8. Blackheart Sassafras top with a white limba body. Purpleheart/wenge /flame sycamore neck with acrylic impregnated Zebrano finger board. Zebrano knobs made by THG. SB and FB narrow format passive electronics volume 4 way rotary switch used to combine the picks. This gives you bridge/bridge/neck in series?bridge/neck in parallel/neck. Second rotary switch is for coil switching in the neck pickup. A good range of sounds are produced with this set up.
  9. Been a while since I posted so a few basses to show what I have been doing for the last few months. Body core in Swamp Ash with a Mahogany top. 7 piece Wenge/Maple neck with a book matched Acrylic impregnated Spalted Maple finger board. 2 ACG FB pickups with coil switching and a Hipshot A Type bridge with piezo saddles. Bridge pickup and piezo are switchable before the feed into the lowpass filter on the ACG EQ01 pre=amp. This allows the bass to be set up as bridge pickup and neck pickup or piezo and neck pickup. Full EQ of the piezo is allowed with his set up and blending between the piezo on the neck pickup. East low battery indicator.
  10. Some work done on the 9 string,the holes for the knobs and the channel for the piezo wiring.
  11. I have one of the fret board which I will post. Not tapered I am afraid.
  12. Some work done on the headless Harlot (sounds like a really dodgy film).
  13. Travis Well done on the job bad luck on the start day. It went pretty well much busier than last year and I actually sold a bass on the day the Harlot 6 which was a real bonus. Alan
  14. Scoops bass finished and picked up at Bassday. Black Limba with a spalted Beech top. Wenge/Black Limba neck. Spalted Acrylic impregnated finger board ACG EQ01 pre-amp ACG FB humbuckers.
