[quote name='woodyratm' timestamp='1329474097' post='1542910'] Well the paint wasn't taking to the bass correctly - so wasn't curing. It's well on the way to being done, we've decided on how the control setup will be (for LEDs etc). Its going to have some push/pull switching going on, so will still look like "classic" jazz. I think we're just waiting on the paint fully curing then the parts being put together. I'll ask Rich to snap some more photos just to see the current look (hopefully now the paints well on the way it'll photograph better [/quote] Yay! Can't wait to see it! Eude

Any news on this?...

Yeah I know, would've been perfect! I'll do it if any more comes. If it was up to me, it would snow most of the time, I love it, hate the heat! Eude

Jon Shuker's basic Jazz 4 strings start about £850, so he might do a 6 string for a couple/few hundred more, if you ask very very nicely. Bar that, I don't think you'll get anything in your price range except the ones you mentioned already, unless something wild comes up secondhand. Classically styled 6 string Jazzes with 18-19mm spacing are fairly rare beasts I'm afraid, usually only represented by higher end custom jobbies... Eude

[quote name='bassist_lewis' timestamp='1329389807' post='1541590'] How does the Low B play on the shorter scale? some recordings would go down a treat very pretty bass btw [/quote] The low B on every 33"er I've owned has been fantastic! I don't have any recordings of the new bass, flat out busy with other things, and probably will be for the foreseeable Having said that, once I clear my feet a bit, I plan to do some recordings, comparisons etc. For now though, here's 2 tunes where I used my ACG 5er (33" scale, obviously), where I venture below low a bit >> http://soundcloud.com/eudeboy/02-body-soul http://soundcloud.com/eudeboy/09-tsunami-of-soul ...and here's a recording that I did on my first 33"er, a Shuker 6 string >> http://soundcloud.com/eudeboy/junction-strut The low B on the new one seems to be the best yet, probably down to the incredibly stiff neck If you've got any other questions, feel free to give me a shout! Eude

[quote name='steve' timestamp='1329327195' post='1540765'] really nice looking bass m8, and I know how great it will sound and play [/quote] Thanks Steve, but probably not with "me" playing it...

[quote name='Ian Davies' timestamp='1329315945' post='1540513'] Congratulations on a truly inspiring bass, it looks magnificent! [/quote] Cheers man

He he PM'd dude...

[quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1329301147' post='1540141'] The bass on the bed session.. Cannae beat it! Sublime bass [/quote] Hubba Hubba

OK, I've still not had time during daylight to take some proper pics of this, lots going on at the moment, but here's some badly lit, badly taken photos to start... This bass is amazing! Eude

[quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1329218781' post='1538867'] I find GuitarGuitar Sandberg prices to be way too high. You could potentially buy from Thomann a fair bit cheaper. [/quote] To be fair, I didn't really look at the prices, my bass guitar "perversions" preclude me from considering buying non-custom basses Eude

[quote name='Prunesquallor' timestamp='1329215926' post='1538794'] Yep, it's a lovely place. It's where I bought my Squier from. It's quite large, so you can generally find a quiet corner to play around in. It's not like some of those cramped places you find. [/quote] It's also nice to go into a store and be treated politely and in a friendly manner. Cracking shop

[quote name='Prunesquallor' timestamp='1329214822' post='1538765'] Guitar Guitar stock them. The Epsom branch might have some if you give them a ring. [/quote] Yup, was there at the weekend. They've got a few in stock, very friendly shop too, not your typical music shop

Just found this >> http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/short-scale-5-string-gc-850893/

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1329140111' post='1537642'] I am too lazy to read the whole thread again.... Has anyone tried the 220? If so, what's the volume ouput like? [/quote] I [i]SAW[/i] one on Saturday, in Guitar Guitar Epsom. It looked rather nice too.... Didn't have time to try it out unfortunately, but I'll be going back in the near future, very impressive shop and very very friendly too Eude

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1328872110' post='1533981'] That looks absolutely beautiful! The woods look sooooo tasty [/quote] You should see it in the flesh!...

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1328866533' post='1533808'] Looks lovely dude! Great bit of kit. Reminds me of my old Overwater - Like a sexy Chocolate Digestive [/quote] Thanks man! Can't wait to get some proper pics of it to show off

[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1328864647' post='1533756'] Very excited now! Super happy for you! Want to see pics now [/quote] There's some in Alan's Build Progress Thread >> http://basschat.co.uk/topic/9623-acg-build-progress/page__st__1320__p__1528232#entry1528232 More to come though Eude

Just thought I'd bob by to tell all that I have the bass! It's freakin' amazing too! When I see daylight, probably at the weekend, I'll get some photos taken, but it's even better than I thought it could be! Watch this space... Eude

[quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1328221106' post='1524143'] Cheers Eude... Anything happening this weekend of interest? [/quote] Ha ha, you know there is mate

Nice one Sean. That is going to be one hell of a bass! I'm looking forward to watching this one progress Eude

[quote name='Dave Tipping' timestamp='1327965272' post='1519785'] Just finished the grille cloth on my new Cab tonight .. I used to gig with a V4B and an old (large) 2x15, been using a small BA115 in a new band for a few months at small gigs, can't wait to rock this little set up at the weekend My entire rig is lighter than my old head. The laney cab is quite a bit lighter than spec after taking off the stupidly heavy (and IMO ugly) steel grille so retarded on a lightweight cab. [/quote] That looks THE BUSINESS mate! Well done

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1327668463' post='1515043'] No idea what the current exchange rate is in squirrels although it might be more ethical to use chavs [/quote] What a marvellous idea! Eude

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1327665121' post='1514952'] The next acg going to be Auntie, Cousin, Gran? [/quote] No grandparents left I'm afraid, but there's loads of grey squirrels, and foxes on our estate... How many squirrels do you reckon it would take?

[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1327664813' post='1514940'] Lol. My gran funded the last Roscoe. I'm thinking 3 kittens should cover the outstanding owed on this one... [/quote] You've just given me a truly horrible idea of how to get me some more basses...
