wow 5 months to get a head!! didnt know you could do a custom built amp

only the front panel is truly custom,
but it's hand-built with lots of parts to order, etc., etc.

I'm currently waiting for my '51 TeleP 5-string thats being built by Rod at Regenerate Guitar Works.

This mockup is based off of an earlier '51 Tele he built for Chef.

Currently the body is done and awaiting routing and finishing.
Neck is done and off getting it's inlay work, then back for frets/finishing
Electronics have arrived
Hardware has arrived

So I'm starting to get Antsy...

Here's an early sketch of the pickguard layout as we tweaked that. That's currently done also and off being made.

it's a personnalized CT copy with extremely old and rare wood made by one of the best luthier in canada Pierre Laporte

I really dig the 10 million $ bass but CT doesnt make leftys anymore

It's been a while since I've been in this "club", but I'm back now that Barker Vertical Bass has agreed to build me a fretless 6 string

I'll have regular updates on the Barker Forum where a thread has been started, as well as my own web site, and I'll be sure to check in here as things progress.

Probably about a 4 month build time .... here's some pics of the wood to be used for the body:

Very deep and beautiful. Gotta Love it!

Deep Dragonburst in a satin matte finish
Mahogany neck
Flame Maple inline headstock with matching finish
Birdseye Maple Fingerboard

Vintage Tweed Hardshell Bass Case

 

[7string]

Always liked the look of those basses.

Unfortunately, Carvin don't ship direct to Europe so I couldn't take advantage of the £/$ exchange rate last year. Would have been incredible value for money.

 

[grace & groove]

^You should have gotten a friend from the U.S. to have it shipped to them and then they could ship it to you, even with the extra shipping costs it should have still been worth it. I'm sure you could have even had someone on here do it for you, if you were willing to trust them.

Yet it looks you already have quite a formidable arsenal of basses at your disposal.

 

[7string]

I am extremely fortunate to have such great instruments.

Carvins are cool though...

 

[bassplayer7770]

See my Hanewinckel thread for updated pics.

 

[Hopper]

Thanks Mr. Kabong!

The MPG Level 6 was delivered today!!

I've been catching grief for getting trans-white over that nice grain, but I really dig it!
It is inspiring to play. (Loving the 19mm spacing.)

Very interesting bass. Trans white is also on my agenda.

 

[Hopper]

ETA this month...

 

[Hopper]

ETA Thursday!
