Here's my bassfamily! Left to right: Basslab L-Bow fretted, Basslab L-Bow fretless, Basslab fretted/fretless and a Chris Larkin bass, love them all!

I have a custom built 8 string Basslab which has a 12 mm string spacing, I'm sure they can deliver one with 6 strings too! I simply love playing that one and there's really no problem to play fingerfunk or slap on it! I've attached a picture of the bass (and the happy owner). :)

I don't know if this is of any interest to any of you, but I made a video playing my 8 string fretted/fretless Basslab and a 9 string Chris Larkin bass, hope you like it! :bassist: Invalid Link Removed

Here's my stuff! Can I have a number please? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

That singlecut is a beauty, somebody should buy it!

The one with Rio rosewood is very nice... remember that if you live outside of the EU, the store can deduct the VAT from the price. It means a lot of savings compared to the original price.

I know that there are Chris Larkin instruments played on some of the Kate Bush albums. The bassist from Jethro Tull and Van Morrisson uses these too. With all the "dodgy" luthiers out there I must say it is always a pleausure to work with Chris. He always delivers and he answers your mail or...

Go for the compromise I'd say...

Might be the old pink to wine red burst that Chris has used from time to time, one of the nicest finishes I've ever seen!

Yeah, the 6 string Blen is very nice, I'll post some pics of that one too as soon as I've taken some pics!

Hi John, I'm not sure about the weight, but I don't think it's heavy. (It's not that big either). The scale length is 35-32. I never tap, but I play fingerstyle, slap and all the other usual stuff, but try to add a bit of flavour by combining different techniques.

RLK; thanks, and yes the Basslab has two identical EADG sets. That Lecompte you're getting is going to be very nice, reminds me a bit of my first 6 string which was a Pedulla series 2. I loved that bass!

My headless basses: a 9 string (kinda) headless Chris Larkin, a 6 string singlecut Chris Larkin and an 8 string Basslab. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Sign me up! Here's some of my babies: a 9 string Chris Larkin, a 6 string singlecut Chris Larkin and an 8 string Basslab, hope you like it! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

In 1993 I ordered two custom basses one from Conklin and one from Chris. Even though the Conklin was very nice I liked Chris's bass even better, and from that point I've never really looked back. Chris has made me a lot of basses the years that has passed and has always been a pleasure to work...
