Brooks 12-string bass guitars
Brooks 12-string bass guitars are built by hand. By me. One at a time. No factory production.
The first twelve string bass I ever built was built for Rob van der Loo (Epica, Mayan). He asked me to build this crazy 34" scale Explorer, the EXB-12-Q.
And lo and behold, soon more requests from all across the globe started to come in.
The Brooks 12-string basses feature the Lace Alumitone humbuckers or Gemini Thunderbird Humbuckers and a custom made bridge set by ETS.
Grace the Gotoh Res-o-lite bass tuners and Gotoh Stealth octave tuners the Brooks 12-string basses do not suffer any neck dive. Most Brooks 12-string basses are 34" scale. But if you want 32" or 30" that's no problem of course ;-)
Read this very profound (French) review about Brooks and the Brooks QB in particular:

If you have a special bass in mind that you would like me to build, just send me an email. Maybe we can work it out ;-)
