Here is what a factory that makes the $3.00 neck on Epiphone, Squire and many other guitars looks like. Grand Rewards, Samick and other lesser known but equally large factories produce the vast majority of instruments that musicians play. For instance, a Fender guitar manufactured in an Asian facility costs about $35 USD from raw materials into the guitar case. So, the company can conceivably make good coin while selling for what seems like such a great retail price. No wonder there is no substantive manufacturing in the U.S. Still, it can lead one to wonder why Fender and Gibson have been reported to be $200 million debt, with Guitar Center being $1.6 billion in debt. Now that's real business, eh!

Sound Composites is about to introduce a complete line of carbon graphite fingerboards for 6- & 7-st electric guitars, 4-, 5- & 6-st basses, and acoustic guitars. Here is Billy Sheehan's personal 'Attitude' lined fretless bass that sports one of these boards. Billy is such an aggressive and dynamic player that he needed a board that he would not rip to shreds. Our board's do not wear, even with use of roundwound strings. So stay tuned for our website's fingerboard product pages, coming later this week!

Here is the Ash Starhawk body for the Cocobolo inlaid 6-st Moses neck fully reviewed and offered in the previous post (and shown again here for reference). As noted, we will be pleased to provide it with your choice of pickup routs. And we will be happy to forward a quote for any configuration of a 'finished' custom bass that includes this neck and body combination. The sanded body adds $295 USD/260.5 Euro to the neck's price.

The previous post (March 7), shows a truly exceptional carbon fiber fretless Cocobolo inlaid 6-string bass neck. We are offering for sale the following 'one' fretted 6-st that is otherwise identical to that great fretless neck (and even a body to match). This stand-alone is and will remain unique. Relative to the work required for our luthiers to have made it, it is being offered at the very reasonable price of $849 USD/572.4 Euro. Specs include the extensive Cocobolo block and binding inlay, brass side dots, 24 Jescar medium jumbo frets, 34"/86.5mm scale, 2.15"/55mm nut width, 3.6"/91.5mm 24th fret width, 18mm string spacing at nut, and 9/16"/14.25mm (aftermarket) tuner holes. Check it out here. Feel free to message (or Email) us with any questions. And indeed promptly let us know if you want to be the one fortunate bassist playing your great music with it! BY THE WAY: take a look at the next post, should you want us to provide a sanded Ash Moses Starhawk body with your choice of pickup routs: $295/260.5 Euro more. And we will be pleased to give you a quote on a custom 'finished' bass with these parts as well.

Two posts ago, you were promised to be shown the first project that led to the headless 6-st bass beauty that interested so many of you (and is referenced in the first photo shown here). So, these other current post pictures are indeed this past Moses player's custom order. The neck, as you can see, has inlaid Cocobolo block inlays (and fingerboard side binding) in a what the bassist calls a keyboard sequence. Yes, it is quite striking!

BASSISTS & JAZZ/ACOUSTIC GUITARISTS ! WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. This is the Sonusphere Convertible. If you use a speaker 'box', you have not 'yet' experienced having your complete sound project widely. With a Sonusphere, both you 'and' other's that you are performing 'with and for' will clearly hear what you are playing when not right in front of your cabinet. NOW, for flexibility in how you orient a Sonusphere cabinet, here is an ultrawide projection 400 watt, 18 lb. B18 (or G18 guitar) cabinet that gives you choice. It can sit on the floor to project up and all around/360 degrees. Or instead just flip over a panel that becomes a stand and the cabinet sits so as to project forward as well as ultra-widely up and to the sides. If you want, flip over the other panel which then becomes an amp stand (shown is a large Walter Wood amp). Both the G18 (guitar) and B18 (bass) Sonusphere Convertible speaker models travel in an over-the-shoulder gig bag case. So yes, please give us your opinion! And just so you know, this is a pre-production model which we will manufacture if you and others tell us that you like it as much as we do....

One of the last Moses Carbon Graphite instrument projects was the bass shown here. Steve, the managing director of Moses, was quite a bit more deeply hands-on involved than usual on this one. The bass has a neck-through-body beam that extends right up to the 6-string piezo saddled tuning bridge. The body wings are Swamp Ash, with access to the upper register being afforded by the deep bout cutaways. A bass with a nut width like that on this neck is ideal for our 6-st headpiece, one of which is mounted on this instrument. This was the second project for a bassist client who has been very pleased with a couple of necks previously made for him, including one beauty that will be shown in the next post. Oh yes, the headpiece particulars include 2.03"/51.5mm by 0.75"/17.16mm overall dimensions, 0.345'/8.75mm string spacing, and sitting on a 0.55"/14mm shelf that is 0.23"/6mm in depth. Thus the overhang that protects the string ends is 0.20"/5.16mm. Cost is $54.95/49 Euro, delivered in the continental U.S.; add $10 US/9 Euro for international destinations.

Remaining in the current subject realm, here is a photo copy of a 7-st David King bass that incorporated a custom Moses carbon graphite neck through beam. Master King actually made two matching basses, fretted and fretless, for our mutual client Jan Paul Moorhead. David machined his own headpieces and unique bridge tuners for these fine instruments.

We at Moses are sent photos of builds that use our products, past and present. Here is a sweet-looking, and we are certain excellent playing, guitar. Our 6-st headpiece is perfect for such builds.

Continuing with the headless theme, a now defunct guitar builder, Reith Guitars used our necks. Here is what became known as the 'Alien Guitar'... pretty awesome paint job and fun Mother of Pearl fingerboard inlay, eh! Oh yes: our 6-st guitar headpiece works great on builds like this.

While we are on the headless kick, here is a custom double 8-st guitar we made a while back. This dual scale instrument neck's (neck through body) have Fender 25.5" and baritone 28.625" scales. In this case, we had Hipshot produce the custom bridge tuners and headpieces. It is designed for over/under tapping. We assure you, it's sweet...!

The wider 4-st bass headpiece that Moses offers was more recently installed on the red bass shown. The bass was shown in the first Moses NAMM Show (Anaheim, Ca.) presentation, January '89. It got much attention due to its integrating a Steinberger tuner block with a Zeta quadraphonic (4 individual string output piezo saddled) bridge. This was before Steinberger ever offered a piezo-saddled headless tuning bridge unit, and 'way' before Peavey offered the Bromberg piezo bass. The specs on the wider headpiece include: 1.625"/41.5mm width; 0.40"/10.25mm string spacing; mounts on a 0.55"/14mm x 1.625"/41.5mm shelf that is generally 0.23"/6mm deep. In satin black and polished Aluminum, $54.95 USD / 49 Euro delivered i the U.S.; add $10 USD / 9 Euro for international.
