Chris Eccleshall Bass Guitar: Neck Shaping

[1987rask]

thats a alot but i dont want the pick up and 1000 knobs like hooks. more like the dick knight bass simon gallup has. with two humbuckers with a nice gap between them and just 4 knobs and maybe a 3 way toggle. the 335 one chris made is similar. so pretty much the look of hooks bass but with simons 335 pick up set up.

Awesome.

I just lost my EB-2 in the Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquake - I have 'always' wanted one of these, but just can't afford or justify the expense :-(

It is however great to see this clip - a true master craftsman.

More of the same please!

That became Peter Hook "red" Viking1 bass. A great sounding bass. Love it.

I'm in Canada. How can I get a guitar like this? The one that Simon Gallup used.

So happy to see this process. Great idea to put this on You Tube. We need more of Chris...

Chris Eccleshall is perhaps the best Luthier on the Planet!!! His instruments have a resonance like no other... I will be the proudest owner of my new Eccleshall 335. This bass will sing ! All the best & thank you Chris from your friend in Chicago... Bill

Cheers
