i spent the first six months of the year in La Rochelle and while i was there i came across a luthier who specialized in some amazing ash neck thoughs. It was at some street arts fair and unfortunatly i can't remember the name of the guy. See if can't find and luthiers based in La Rochelle, it's a very small city.

Lot of great French luthiers. I especially like Aguilina, Noguera and Lairat. They all make distinctive instruments that are beautiful and play and sound great. Lairat has a new bass posted here. I've got an Aguilina coming in a couple weeks. Can't wait. I'll post some pics.

Don't have the bass yet but there is a cool video here of Sebastien at NAMM 2011 talking about his basses, a Shelby and Richard Bona model.
