I've built a couple of interesting custom specification G3 basses recently that I thought worthy of the News page!

The first is a G3 Five MIDI fretless featuring a Purple Candy over chrome fibre finish, a full 3 octave carbon fibre fingerboard and 'jewellery grade' gold plating. The bass was specced by the customer who already owns a fretted G3 Five MIDI. In common with this bass there are no visible mechanical fixings - everything is hidden or uses magnets - to maintain a clean visual appearance.

Beneath is a G3 Four Active in 'retro' guise specced by Brazilian player Paulo Roberto Diniz of Jota Quest. The theme was retro with a modern twist, so I used a creamy white paint, tinted Birdseye Maple 'board and headstock facing and a specially designed carbon fibre scratchplate. The pickup layout was also modded to give a full humbucker at the bridge as well as a number of combined tones.
