Dudley just cut this poplar piece yesterday. We also plan to do Alder and Ash bodies. The final body shape probably won't be based on the Albert Lee, but we just thought it would be a cool bass. Poppa, Dudley, and I will all trickle in more ideas and thoughts....

That’s right up my alley! I just don’t know if I could get away from the MM Humbuckers.

Dargin, is this the B-Day gift that BP was talking about? Or is this a part of the 25th surprise?

oh, my

Scott, Dudley, BP....whoever is behind this one, please get a few samples out there. The AL shape is a natural for a bass.

I bet you could get Bovine Jack to flog them very successfully.

(one might also consider putting a Silhouette bass guitar neck on an AL bass body for grins...)

I know zip about what might be popular on the sales floor, but an Albert Lee bass would sure be COOL.

THisw is just a little forum spice to keep things interesting...This is not the 25th and it is a present and it is probably a disguised future........namm 2009 This bass is so exciting to me...its kind of my baby and Dudley is just unbelievable....If there was a field sobriety test for Research and development
excitement...I have my eyes closed and am trying o touch my nose, Dargie is saying the alphabet backwards, and Dudley is leaning back on one leg with his eyes also closed.....Really really exciting stuff
