Singlecut Four Strings - Anyone got pics?

[Las Olas]

Hey everyone. Toying with the idea of getting a custom four string neck through fretless with a relatively unknown luthier in the UK. Just wondered, as I love a singlecut lookswise so much, have many been made in four strings? I normally see 6+!


Would love to see some pics, to see if it looks odd at all or not!




Many thanks




Mike

Come to think of it, you really don't see nearly as many 4 banger custom jobs from the boutique luthiers as you do 5+. They do seem to look best with a fairly busy grain -- the last one speddling posted easily being the best. I love the look -- the body shape really goes far for the four string thing too. Is that a macassar ebony top? Usually looks to busy, but I've never seen it on a four stringer...actually looks PERFECT like that!

BEE basses can hook up a three stringer for ya

I really appreciate all the great pictures you fine people have posted! Thanks! That Benevente that Cameron is playing is stunning!

Not a boutique singlecut, but it is technically a singlecut

I think some are nice and some would look better on a 5 or 6. The last few, such as the Adler and the ones Speddling posted are nice on fours, in my opinion. I think the darkness of the bass has something to do with it, darker basses seem to work better with that body style.
