Didn’t see an owners club for these basses so I’m starting one! I know a few people on here have them and I would love to see yours! Here’s my current build that should be done in a week or so, it’s a 6 string stega deluxe headless

Subbed! Can't wait to see the finished product. A Stega is at the top of my G.A.S. list.
Congrats! Can't wait to see the finished instrument! You will not be disappointed. What's the specs on this one?
Gloss black
Mahogany body
4 piece neck
Ebony fretboard
Delano w/finger ramp
John East Pre
34” scale
Black hardware
Graphite
Evo Gold frets
Optima Gold strings
A Lairat club, yes !
I have a Gabriella S, that I got used. The specs are :
- buckeye burl top
- mahogany body
- multipiece set neck (maple, wenge, mahogany), 34"
- Delano Times Square pickups
- Glockenklang 3 band preamp
This bass has different ergonomics that a lot of basses that I have had (and I have had a lot, including the big US names). The body has a different shape, with a rather large "bottom". The sound is on the modern side, of course with lots of possibilities with the split and the active / passive preamp, which as the same volume in active and passive.
I like this bass a lot, I usually am more into traditionnal basses, and this one is the opposite. But the playability and the sound are very good.
Now for the pictures :

Jolies basses !
How do the oval shaped Delanos compare to the Times Square in the Gabriella ?
Oooh that's nice looking! What kinda $$$ we talking' bout for a used one of these things?!
The Sound of the Delanos is more „hifi“. super clean. Great for playing chords and soloing.
These are two absolutely different instruments, both fantastisch.Different body wood, different active systems and different PU.
The Gabriela S is a little more heavy and with the thicker mahogany body the sound is warmer and deeper.
I will post some pictures of the bodys and some dimensions later.
Thanks! I love it! Paul did a great job on it and I am very happy with the results!
I think you can find a used Gabriella S in the 3 to 3.5K range. Here is a used one from Luthier Access Group: Paul Lairat Gabriella S | Luthiers Access Group | Reverb This is where I bought my Stega from. Dan is great to work with.
