Brooks bass guitars

Brooks bass guitars are built by hand. By me. One at a time. No factory production. 
The design of the EB-PL is a combination of a classic from the fifties; the Les Paul Double Cut shaped EB-0, plus another classic, the EB-PL combines the EB-0 with the 50's P. And the EB-RBL combines the EB-0 with a Rick (pickup). The EB-PL Noir even combines the EB-0, 50's P with the Rick Noir series.
The EB-TB combines the EB-0 with all the characteristics of a sixties Thunderbird.
The Telebird combines the characteristics of a 51 Fender Precision Bass and a Gibson Thunderbird. It is my take on the Fenderbird of John Entwistle fame.
​The Grabbird combines a 1964 Gibson Thunderbird with a 1973 Gibson Grabber.
The Thundervee combines a 1964 Thunderbird with a Flying V

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 ;-)

​"Black is beautiful, but it sounds great too! 100% balanced sound in every position. With a nice growl to it, that makes it cut through. This bass is a love baby from Rickenbacker and Fender, trapped in a vintage Gibson body. A piece of art."
​Ivo Severijns (ex- Herman Brood & his Wild Romance, ex -Kane, Waylon)


"​I absolutely love it when old school meets new school! This bass has the looks and feel of a classic Gibson with the sound of a Telecaster bass on acid. It's simple yet very diverse. From a warm vintage sound to a killer modern rock growl... This monster has it all!"
Rob van der Loo (ex-Delain, Epica, MaYaN)
