I would say mine is about like your's. It seems that the bottom bout is a bit more rounded than others I've researched, as well.

I guess that's what happens when you get handcrafted basses ... eventhough they are a part of a design line ... you get happy little inconsistencies that make each so special.

I'd have to say ... I'm rather taken with Elricks, overall.

I would kill for one of these basses.

Mr. Majestic · #**723** 08-22-2009, 08:50 PM

I love em too! I really want me a six string in the future.

Never noticed that on yours, Mr. Majestic- maybe he's doing all of the new Classics like that now.

hey ubado.. welcome!!!! wait this isnt the guild pilot club?!?!

**Bryan R. Tyler** · #**726** 08-22-2009, 09:56 PM

Hey nalapit13, do you still have your buckeye 4? I saw it on eBay a while back.

nalapit13 · #**727** 08-22-2009, 09:58 PM

i still have it. i have had it for sale a bunch of times but just cant bring myself to do it.

my buckeye tuners should be coming from THG soon. i cant wait!!!

Mr. Majestic · #**728** 08-22-2009, 10:13 PM

I don't think I would be able to sell it either. It is a very nice bass, those buckeye tuners ought to be interesting. I am really leaning toward Aeros for mine also. The 5 string aeros are the same size as the 6 string barts, so I will have to enlarge the routes to accomidate them. I have also checked into the knobs, but I will most likely build them and the p/u covers myself.

nalapit13 · #**729** 08-22-2009, 10:19 PM

i really like the way it looks with the wooden knobs and pickup covers. i really really like how rob made my covers to match my bass with mahoghany, purpleheart and the buckeye top.

i will post some pics when the tuners come in and i install them. i cant wait!!

now i just have to get a buckeye bridge cover made..

Mr. Majestic · #**730** 08-22-2009, 10:30 PM

I plan on doing something very similar with mine. I have a good bit of that quilted ash left over and most likely use it for the top and the cap on the knobs. Quilted ash/veneer/wenge, as the combination.

Thanks!

I guess we really do have the same taste in basses.

Don't think I'm gonna get a Khaler anytime soon, though.

(BTW ... Congrats on your latest custom edition! She's the cutest! Hopefully she won't devour any more necks when she gets her teeth )

Count me in to the club! I just purchased this one. Evo 5 string buckeye burl. Aguilar pre... and I love the matching pots.

May I have a number?

Your images aren't working, but from your avatar I know it's the one on the Elrick site and the one that was at TheLowEnd- really nice looking (and awesome headstock!).

nalapit13 · #**735** 09-06-2009, 01:18 PM

that 5 headstock was one of the major deciding factors when i was picking my top. i love that headstock.

Mr. Majestic · #**736** 09-06-2009, 01:20 PM

I believe this is your bass! Let me dig up those numbers and I will get you one.

Mr. Majestic · #**737** 09-06-2009, 01:25 PM

I tell ya what we have a few gaps...take your pick....31 is even availible.

I was about to post this in the "Show Your Ramps" thread, but I figured I'd post it here first- added a new ramp to each of my Elricks on top of their pickups. I had them made very thin to fit.

thndrstk6 · #**739** 09-06-2009, 02:17 PM

Very nice! They look more clean and sharp now.

scubaduba · #**740** 09-06-2009, 02:38 PM

Well #26 is the next open number so I'll take it.
