Wilcock Basses - Where's the Love???

I know, I did order LPB, I think it's more of a rich blue in reality and slightly more sparkle, but I prefer it as it's more unusual. So it's the colour you get if you ask for LPB
It's the colour you get if you ask for Lake Placid Blue. Looks fantastic in the flesh. I agree with you about yellow as well
Been over a year with mine. I don't really consider new basses anymore. I have been set with my modest by quality collection of L2500, Fender American Reissue 63 P, NYC Satin Sadowsky P/J and the Mullarkey.
Zero gas, lots of recording.

I'm feeling the same way at the moment, although I'm still in the honeymoon period!
I just sent my deposit to Viv. Sounds like it will be next summer before I see the bass. Something really good to look forward to, though. Asked for sherwood green, birdseye maple FB, matching headstock with standard pickups and Schaller bridge. I want to be able to use short scales Dunlop flats.
Sounds gorgeous, keep us posted with photos! It'll be worth the wait, for sure
Sorry if I missed this info in the thread. Are these basses finished in nitro or poly?
Thanks in advance,

Here's a pic from tonight's rehearsal. I've had this bass for just over a year, I totally love it.
This is exactly what I ordered, except in Sherwood Green. Can't wait to see it in 4 more months.
Long wait but its a bass you will love for years. Best bridge pickup sound ever - imo.
Had mine (Lake Placid Blue) since August last year and I've not felt the need for any other bass since. You will really enjoy it
Anyone have any experience of the bi-sonic? I've seen one video, but totally unfamiliar with that type of pickup, so can't really picture what sort of sounds/music they're geared towards.
Mostly wondering what they offer tonally compared to the versatility of the 2 pickup Mullarkey.

I've had my eye on Wilcock for a while now. Seriously contemplating ordering a Mullarkey sometime this year. Or maybe a BiSonic, it looks super sexy with the pearloid on white. Has anyone been fortunate enough to play both? How close is the Mullarkey on the neck pickup to the BiSonic?
Also, is there any information on the lead time for custom orders?

Not sure what the lead time is now, but I put down a deposit for a custom order early March, and he estimated he'd start work around September, so I guess that's a 7+ month lead time at least?
Thanks, that sounds not too bad in today's world. And then it's a 2 ~ 3 month build I guess? That would make it a 10 month wait from deposit to finish. Let's round that up to an even 12 months, add some margin for delays.
