"Simon Goulding Signature" 6 string bass.

Well, the planning is done. A couple of tweaks on the headstock maybe but all there really. Cannot wait!!!

The SG bass is being handcrafted by Luthier Tito Dalmedo of Dalmedo Custom Guitars from Preston UK. The bass has been co-designed by Tito & myself. After many many hours of research & endless conversations we came up with a spec that really suits my sound and playing. Here's the spec...........So far.

6 string 35" scale 24 fret.
Premium hand picked Ash body with Mahogany through insert.
Spanish Cocobolo top & back. (It's still in the Kiln in Spain at the moment).
5 piece flamed maple neck with 3 ebony pinstripes.
Custom cut premium ebony extra wide fingerboard.
Gold shaller bridge.
Gold shaller or gotoh machine heads.
Flamed maple & Cocobolo headstock.
Abalone & mother of pearl fret inlays.
Single truss rod with carbon fibre rod inserts.
Bartolini P4 active pick ups with Taurus pre amp. (For now).

Cocobolo top & back. (Un treated & un lacquered).

Flamed Maple (Neck wood).

I'll post more pictures as the project comes together.

All the best,

Simon.
