Here's your's truly and friends at a recent trade show.
Newest instrument here is the bass second from the right. Walnut and maple throughout, and another slimline body making it weigh in at only 7.25 pounds.
This bass, modelled here at a gig by it's owner Simon, is extremely light weight. All the hardware and trim is aluminium and the body is very slim at well under 1.5".
It is based around the Nouveau Simple design, has a maple neck and fingerboard, english cherry body, Hipshot hardware and pickups handwound by Wizard.
Swamp Ash, Maple neck with Birdseye Maple fingerboard and a Rosewood scratchplate.
This bass features a handwound pickup from Wizard and gold hardware from Gotoh and Hipshot.
The 12th fret inlay A50D are the initials of the owner, Andrew, who commissioned this bass for his 50th birthday.

In complete contrast to the simplicity of the last guitar is this fancy bass.
The body is predominantly walnut, with a central wenge core and a maple accent.
The neck is my preferred combination of wenge and maple with an ebony board.
Handwound bulldog pickups in handmade wooden cases, brass inlay work and hipshot hardware.
And here is the happy customer, Charlie - cheers Charlie, I enjoyed making this bass a lot.
Here's a nice straightforward guitar in Ash and Maple. Bulldog pickups, Gotoh Hardware and thats cocobolo backing the mother of pearl logo.
