Bassmonster

[quote name='eude' post='204079' date='May 22 2008, 09:24 AM']Tiny update. The body is all shaped and being basecoated, should get a picture at le weekend. It'll be all black and shiny next week, hopefully. Then on to the neck! Pics as soon as I get 'em Getting excited and everything seems to be on schedule too, 'spose it's a pretty simple build compared to some of the more boutique basses coming out of Jon's work shop at the moment Cheers, Eude[/quote] good stuff Eude "everything seems to be on schedule" that's got to be a first

very cool

Mate that is beautiful. *Thinks* Can I get to Sheffield without Mrs T knowing Pete[/quote] Welcome back pete, yep i am pretty excited about this one now, that reminds i'll need to pester jon again for an update lol! [quote name='eude' post='204179' date='May 22 2008, 12:03 PM']I know, it's truly horrible isn't it. I've got number 2 in the making and I'm already planning number 3 This has to stop! Eude[/quote] Tell me about it [quote name='Tinman' post='204183' date='May 22 2008, 12:07 PM']Oh dear God man!!!! What are you trying to do to me? The wife'd kill me Seriously though, I've had mine 7 months now and have not looked back. However, I would love another but, at the moment, there would be no justification as the 'Lady T' does everything I need.[/quote] justification doesn't come into when the GAS strikes

WOW! A 9 stringer, is that a first on here?, looking forward to seeing this one progress.

indeed

[quote name='presoulnation' post='187991' date='Apr 29 2008, 12:50 PM']I have seen this bass in person and the pictures aren't doing it justice the grain is really sweet Also I have played the above mentioned singlecut and its a corker I really cant wait to have my Shuker [/quote] i was quite calm about this build up until i got the latest pics and presoulnations comments, i really can't wait, oh well i guess i'll just go and play my other shuker and make do

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='187958' date='Apr 29 2008, 12:11 PM']Id quite happyly swap you, Dated 1989, slim like a jazz but got the curves too, maple coloured head but none matching colour and body, very tidy underneath the the paintwork, puts out well although a little destortion depending on which jack you plug it into.[/quote]

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='187806' date='Apr 29 2008, 09:06 AM']wowowowowowowooww stunning, thats more beautiful then my girlfriend![/quote] lol! don't let her hear that [quote name='eude' post='187809' date='Apr 29 2008, 09:13 AM']WOW! The body is gorgeous and the neck looks good enough to eat. You got and ETA yet? Still no news on mine yet but I'm leaving Jon be, as I know he's silly busy, plus when it does come along, it'll be a nice surprise. Cheers, Eude[/quote] aye the grain sure has jumped out a fair bit, i reckon the end of july..maybe august...in fact probably august, don't worry i'm sure jon hasn't forgotten about your build, as you say he has alot on, i'm surprised at how he manages to keep track of it all. liked your idea for the modified body shape by the way, that could be how my next one looks...although thats a bit down the line.

More pics [attachment=8234:Picture_481.jpg] [attachment=8233:Picture_480.jpg] [attachment=8232:Picture_479.jpg]

can't wait to hear how this one sounds!

[quote name='simon1964' post='169262' date='Apr 3 2008, 04:43 PM']That looks fantastic. I really like you spec. The Delano J/MM hybrid combination is awesome. Jon has a finished singlecut with that combination in stock which I was lucky enough to play last week - very impressive![/quote] Hey thx, really looking forward to playing with the range of sounds available, i think with the wenge its gonna be quite distinctive, well thats the plan anyway

Ok, PC has been down for the past couple of days....new central heating was getting installed, total f*****g nightmare, but anyway got the PC back up and running checked my mail and this was sitting in my inbox,

ah this should be interesting

This is a debate that will go on forever, whilst there is still not a vast choice out there its better than it used to be, but it does p**s me right off

My status S2, Sold it to pay for my first Shuker, i believe the Italian chap i sold it to has moved it on also

Ah finally this appears, looking forward to seeing how this one goes

Another update, first pic of the neck... [attachment=6293:Picture_407.jpg]

i was wondering when that would appear

[quote name='Mike' post='149789' date='Mar 2 2008, 12:39 PM']Same here thanks, 5 string jazz. Build thread to come![/quote] ah cool another 2nd timer, looking forward to the upcoming build thread

[quote name='dood' post='148943' date='Feb 29 2008, 01:54 PM']Yes, I wouldn't turn down additional pics of my build, Thank you , very kind sir![/quote] me too, thanks

[quote name='Finbar' post='146866' date='Feb 25 2008, 07:58 PM']Did Jon send you the pictures, or did you have to prompt him? I've found him largely useless of a photograph provider so far ¬_¬ Starting to get impatient now! [/quote] well I make a point of chasing him every fortnight. it can be frustrating waiting for updates but its worth it in the end. yours can't be far away now surely

Got the first pic of the body today, a bit more routing to be done, the basecoat should be getting done this week, hopefully more pics this time next week [attachment=5939:Picture_380.jpg]

that really sucks, my favorite station....and poor guy pratt just started there.
