John you beat me to it! Just launched the new website yesterday. Apart from a new design throughout it now has a community section (the Lounge) where you can log-in and then post videos, pics and soundclips. Will it become the new MySpace??? There are a few glitches still which is probably not surprising as there are over 1000 items behind the site. Also the 4 string Syra 3 pickup bass is finally finished and I am very, very pleased with the way it has turned out. Huge tonal range thanks to the three differently wound pickups and a 5 way slider switch. If any of you can get to the workshop to try it you could write a review of it. I'll feature it on the new site when I get the time.

Thanks. It is still in need of a lot of work. Most of the images are low res as they were migrated across from the old site where they were fine as the pages viewed as smaller than on the new site. I have to update most of them as well as some of the content which is a bit dated. There is a lot to do and it will take me some time to get it working and viewing as I want. I'm very interested in how the Lounge section will develop. It is up to the members who join to shape the way it goes.
The Syra 3 pickup bass sold immediately from the Newsletter this month which is great but now I want to make another one as soon as I get the chance and this time it will be passive - the tonal range is so good I don't think it needs an active EQ. This will make it cheaper too.

A couple of days late but the August Newsletter is now available on the Invalid Link Removed. There is a rather nice SC6 Fretless in it that I just finished for a customer. You can sign up for future Newsletters on the website too.

Hi Madwatch. Nice collection. You bought 3 together? The middle one has a custom piezo bridge and I still have the prototype for that on my workbench.
Hey Chris I hope your doing well. I didnt get them all at the same time. I got one from Joey G music in New York and the Piezo one from Luthier Access Group. The one on the far Right I found on ebay. I see you have my pic back up on your website. ( tony from the usa ) I need to get some updated pics to you since my collection has grown since then. The one with the piezo is probably my favorite , it just sounds so wonderful. Cant wait to get a 6 string bass of yours. Just got to save up some more!

Great to hear from you Tony. I'd love to get some new pics. I've made so many basses now that I can't remember them all and it is really nice to see stuff that I made in the past and wonder if I can still find wood that good!
