An elegant and original body shape inspired by the Greek Lyer, hence the name which is Greek for “ruler”. The bass features a beautiful burr wych elm top with English maple back and walnut accent line between the two.

The neck is three piece construction of walnut and ash featuring a hornbeam fingerboard. Hornbeam makes an excellent and unique fingerboard choice, it is extremely hard, can be exceptionally beautiful and is native to the UK. Usually it will be a plane creamy colour, but the stock this piece is from had turned a beautiful olive colour over time. All the woods used on this bass are native to the UK.

The headstock features some attractive veneers/back strapping, with Elm on the front and English Maple on the back to match the body. In between each veneer is a black accent stripe to give a sharp look.

A single Kent Armstrong Soap bar pickup provides a deep bassy tone, which is mated to the Active Kent Armstrong MM3 3 band tone circuit providing a massive amount of bass!

The gold Gotoh (203 bridge) and Wilkinson hardware finishes off the bass nicely and gives it that royal look to go with it’s name!
