Title: Languedoc Dragon Bass
Post by: osoloco69 on November 13, 2006, 12:23:01 PM

I have contacted Paul about making basses and he says the is only doing hollowbody guitars.  I would like to get a copy of the dragon bass, but with alembic Pups to include effects loop and a through body neck.  Would this be a possibility?  Here are some links to the pics of the bass.

Is it not possible to get a custom europa/rogue blend thats semi hollow?

If you've got the deep tummy and elbow carving on a normal Europa or Rogue body, then hollowing places are limited.  
 
To make hollow construction, the body requires a top and back laminate. We can do some more gentle contours, but if it's carved too deeply, the contour will punch through to the hollow area.
