Show your 4 string boutiques?

[Bryan R. Tyler]

That's the one I had to sell to pay for the other Elrick I pictured a page back after my second job was suddenly taken away. I miss it A thicker neck than many might like, but it felt wonderful to me.

Thanks Chad;

Well, here goes. My Iceni Zoot hand made custom bass. The body is made up of Maccasa Ebony Top and Back, Black Walnut Core and Maple veneers. The Neck is a seven piece laminate of Walnut and Maple, again separated but this time with Ebony veneers. 25 fret Ebony 'board. Aero Pick-ups, Pope pre amp with 3 band eq running at 18v, Hipshot bridge (top loader or thru' body options), Hipshot tuners (with D tuner). Guess that's about it. Let's see if these load:

Wow! Never heard of this before, looks awesome! Can you give me some more info about Iceni (where from, history, etc)?
Thanks

Iceni Zoot are based in Essex, England. Mike Walsh is the luthier who builds the basses. Mike also runs a dedicated bass shop called the bass merchant, and his workshop is part of this facility, and I guess it is a similar set up to Sei basses in that respect.

His old web site is here when he was looking to create a series of basses with a team of people:

He only does custom orders now and you can order pretty much any option in the three basic shapes that he does. I believe he works alone on these.

Extremely high quality and you know you are getting something quite exclusive at not that high a price. My bass cost me 1865 GBP when I ordered it 18 months ago. Build time is around 6 months (although Mike typically quotes 3).

Sound and playability are excellent.

Glad to help.

And DAMN!...That bass is cool, cool, cool.


BTW 1,865.00 GBP=3,489.90 USD (for anyone whose interested)

Seriously, that thing looks flippin sweet. Enjoy it.

Thats so hot! What woods are they?

I know the top wood and fingerboard are Tulipwood, not sure what the rest of the woods are though.

Here is my Bordwell with Tulipwood fingerboard, bridge, and pup covers.

Wow!!! I love it!

Thanks Tom ... I'm sure you would really love the sound as well. The sustain is incredible, with a sweet tone ... very unique, like an upright but fuller and it sings.

Words can't describe how much I admire Rob Allen's designs. My, oh my, those are nice. I'd take one of each, please, but if that's not an option, I would probably be content with a fretted short- or medium scale four string Deep model. Or maybe a fiver with a high C. I can dream, can't I?
