My second short scale bass build. I really enjoyed the build and I'm super pleased with the end result.

This definitely took inspiration from the Hofner Club bass but, using my own single cut body shape and headstock design.

The body and neck are Sapele and the top is book matched flamed ash. I'm really pleased with the Norwich City vibe "slime burst" which is a mix of stain and nitro which brings out the beautiful wood grain.

I hope you like it!!

It's been a while since I made anything but finally finished off this Short Scale Bass.

Really happy with the result, this one is just for me but it plays and sounds great.

30" scale length with Ash body and Sapele neck in racing green. Went for some hofner style pups and k***s to match the 60s vibes.

Well it's been a while since I posted on here...still plugging away.

Just finished upgrading the bridge pups on these two funky looking Epiphones...good and evil? Tbh they're both evil sounding with new big output HBs in the bridge.

I've been a fan of strings for 20 years, so when I was looking for a supplier they were the obvious choice. Their distribution centre is also based in Newcastle and employs some of the canniest folk around
