It’s basically perfecto. Take a look…

Very nice! You have had many "basically perfecto" basses over the last few years. It's always nice to see them!

Haha, yeah. I do too much. But it’s been really fun playing so many basses. I’ve really learned what I like, what’s worth the money and what’s not.

This particular bass is special because I was able to choose every feature I’ve liked on various other Elricks and put them all into one perfect bass. I’m very pleased with how this turned out.

Almost perfect… that logo looks like a mole, you should have it surgically removed

a nice clean grain holly top is probably my favorite. I am likely never going to order another custom order bass until I retire, but I'm dreaming of a holly top spector ns5

beauty of a bass!

Thanks. I really dig holly. It has a way of taking the finish that has a lot more character up close than the pictures show. My favorite too.

Wow! Beautiful bass and nice specs, especially the Aero's since you went all passive.

Rob Elrick's wife is from Spain & she wanted to move back. Plus, it seems Chicago has become expensive. Personally, I think he'll be able to have a bigger impact in European and Asian markets from Spain as well.

Wait, wait, are you telling me that Rob Elrick lives 40 miles from me???

No way! That's awesome.

Actually, more like 60 km.

“Elrickque” you say?

¡Sí!

When I ordered this bass last year, Elrick basses were handcarved in Chicago, IL USA. By the time it was done, Elrick had relocated to his new shop in Valencia, Spain. It added a little time to the build but it was worth the wait.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Rob Elrick’s work. I’ve owned a number of his basses over the years and they always hit their marks. With this order, I wanted something classic that I would play for a long time. I went 35” scale, passive with Aero dual-coil pickups, swamp ash body with a holly top, maple neck with a macassar ebony board.

It’s basically perfecto. Take a look…

The curves on that bass are simply elegant. I hope you enjoy that bass many years in great health.

Thanks Doc. This and my MTD are 2 of my lifetime basses.

I’m a huge fan of the NJS. Had three, and sold em, but I’m working on getting another.

I have a beautiful Elrick NJS. It is stellar.
