  1. Any news on this dude? Been a while... Cheers, Eude
  2. [quote name='Bigwan' post='289665' date='Sep 23 2008, 08:41 AM']Hi guys, Haven't had a chance to take any pics yet, but will do tonight. Suffice to say that Jon Shuker is a genius. This thing is exactly what I wanted. Sounds awesome and plays even better. I'm already planning number 2 - one I won't be afraid to take out of the house! Cheers Ian[/quote] Nice one Bigwan, can't wait to see the pics! I feel exactly the same about taking my single cut out, which is why I commissioned what I've called my "Pub Bass"... Cheers, Eude
  3. [quote name='WarPig' post='289568' date='Sep 22 2008, 11:19 PM']Hi Eude, any chance of posting some pics of the body please, mainly any marks, im always interested in a new project. Maybe interested in the pickups too.[/quote] Will do mate. I'll get them done tomorrow night. Cheers, Eude
  4. Bulk of the stuff sold, thanks to those who got in touch and those who made purchases Still got the EMG Select Jazz Bass Pickups and the Jazz Bass body to go. I can sort out pics of these two items if anyone is interested. Cheers, Eude
  5. This post cannot be displayed because it is in a forum which requires at least 1 post to view.
  6. Nice one dude! Congrats, looking forward to seeing another ACG come to life Cheers, Eude
  7. Just bought a 21ft Monster Cable of Chris. Really friendly and helpful guy to deal with. He kept hold of the lead for me till I got paid, which was cool. The lead is in perfect nic as described and posted out well packaged up and rather promptly too. Cheers Chris!
  8. Some interest in some bits, but I'd still rather sell it all in one go if at all possible. Like I said I'll be out of contact till the 15th, so if anyone posts or PMs I won't be able to get back to you till then. If nobody is interested in the job lot by then, I'll sort it out with the folks who have been in touch so far. Cheers, Eude
  9. Hey guys, Just a quick feeler here to see if there's interest. I've got quite a few bass bits I'd accumulated hoping to put together a parts cheapy beater Jazz Bass, but I just don't have the time or the inclination just now and they're cluttering up my flat. I'm away on holiday from 12:00 pm tomorrow till the 15th, so I'll get pics and the likes up after then if anyone is interested... So here's what I've got >> [b][s]Black Vester Jazz Bass Body[/s] - SOLD[/b] Fits standard 4 bolt neck joint Standard Jazz Shape in every way Some scratches, but nothing deep, 5/10 condition [b][s]Maple on Maple P Bass Neck from Dangleberry Music[/s] - SOLD[/b] Never used, no holes drilled Tiny scratch on the headstock, 9.5/10 condition [b][s]Vester Jazz Bass Rosewood on Maple Neck[/s] - SOLD[/b] Used condition 5/10 [b][s]EMG Select Jazz Bass Pickups[/s] - SOLD[/b] Older model with the italic style logo Unused condition 10/10 [b][s]Gotoh 201 Bridg[/s]e - SOLD[/b] In Gunmetal (almost black) Unused condition 10/10 [b][s]Vester Bent Metal Plate Fender Rip Off Bridge[s] - SOLD[/b] Chrome Used condition 6/10 [b][s]4 in-line Wilkinson Cloverleaf Tuner[/s] - SOLD[/b] Black Unused condition 10/10 [b][s]4 in-line no-name Cloverleaf Tuner[/s]s - SOLD[/b] Unused by me, but secondhand, 6/10 [b][s]Black String Tree[/s] - SOLD[/b] Unused 10/10 [b][s]Vester Neck Plate and Screws[/s] - Destroyed[/b] Chrome 1 screw a bit knackered Used condition 6/10 Think that's about it. My hope is that someone interested in building might take the job lot in one go. Not sure of what it's all worth, was thinking maybe about £120 + P&P? Obviously, it might be a big package, so pickup or meeting halfway with petrol costs might be more sensible, however, I did post a massive Trace Elliot amp using APC Overnight for a surprisingly low price last year. I'd rather not split, as it's a load of stuff, but if there's no interest I might be persuaded. If you want to get hold of me you've got till 12 tomorrow, failing that, I'll answer any questions etc. on the 15th. Cheers, Eude
  10. [quote name='Bigwan' post='277025' date='Sep 4 2008, 02:25 PM']Very nearly there! Only fitting the pots left to do. Should be in my grubby mits soon! I'm drooling here... More pics. The last one's were a bit light, these may seem dark in comparison, but the colour in these is closer to what I was after: [attachment=12903:DSCN4963.jpg][attachment=12904:DSCN4964.jpg][/quote] That's gorgeous mate! The wait is nearly over Eude
  11. Do a search on ebay for headless bass, there's a few affordable ones on there. This really caught my eye too >> [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gordy-Headless-Bass-UK-made-Very-Rare_W0QQitemZ260280909052QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item260280909052&_trkparms=72%3A12|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gordy-Headless-Bass-...id=p3286.c0.m14[/url] Apparently made by a sister company to Gordon Smith Guitars in the 80s. Gordon Smith Guitars are great, never seen a bad one, so this might be a bit of a bargain... Cheers, Eude
  12. I'm totally GASing for a Twin Valve Head at the moment, but you don't see them around very often! Anyone know if anyone makes anything similar these days? Eude
  13. WOW! That is absolutely gorgeous mate, congratulations! Eude
  14. [quote name='spiritchaser' post='273093' date='Aug 30 2008, 12:30 PM']Hi Eude, yes, it is. I ordered it as rough slaps via a German importer of woods. You can't imagine how much laquer the buckeyed burl took to be completely covered. It was like a sponge. Here are some more pics of the actual process of putting the bass together - among other customer projects (Kundenprojekte): [url="http://www.holz-faszination.de/home/node/44"]http://www.holz-faszination.de/home/node/44[/url] BTW Jens Ritter from Ritter Basses also orders his veneers and woods there. tc Oliver[/quote] Thanks for info dude! That's one gorgeous bass, I feel my Wal GAS building... Cheers, Eude
  15. [quote name='simon1964' post='272942' date='Aug 30 2008, 12:34 AM']Mine will have a dark top when its finsihed! Asian Striped Ebony - which looks like this so far (if we're allowed to post unfinished Shukers!):[/quote] Hot Damn! :ph34r:
  16. Very nice dude. This is going to be one beautiful monster of a bass! Cheers, Eude
  17. [quote name='spiritchaser' post='271858' date='Aug 28 2008, 03:44 PM']Well, well - great pics of great basses! I just happened to take some more recent ones of mine (check my signature for exact data): tc Oliver[/quote] Wow! That single pick up 4 string fretless, with, is it buckeye, top on it? That is gorgeous! Anymore info on it? Eude
  18. [quote name='dood' post='271990' date='Aug 28 2008, 08:05 PM']ha ha ha ha ha!!! Nooooo -hhhhh'way!!!! Yeeee haaa gWasshoppa!![/quote] Well if it helps, I was out for several drinks the other night with one of my old pals, a drummer who I used to play with. He's in the process of getting some old videos of our original band digitised, including one of us jamming in my parents living room back when we where all 13 - now that will be embarrassing! I'll probably have to put up some screen grabs from it once it's done... Cheers, Eude
  19. Gorgeous mate! Can't wait to see it finished. Eude
  20. [quote name='dood' post='271946' date='Aug 28 2008, 06:29 PM']All I used to get at school! - I didnt realise that back then I had a very embarassing Ralph Macchio 'Karate Kid' hair cut. I can't believe I have just shared that.[/quote] Come one man, we gotta see pics of Dood Macchio Eude
  21. [quote name='ped' post='271716' date='Aug 28 2008, 12:51 PM']Pah I was expecting more pics!![/quote] Hopefully get some for the weekend. "Patience Danielsan, Patience..." Eude
  22. [quote name='Sibob' post='271671' date='Aug 28 2008, 12:05 PM']It's the battle of the black/black jazzes to get finished, I think mine might have the edge thought hehe Loving the look of yours so far though Eude Si[/quote] Cheers Si, I'm getting right excited, can't wait to get my grubby mitts on it! [quote name='alexclaber' post='271674' date='Aug 28 2008, 12:09 PM']I really like the way that changing scale length has such a big effect on the sound - as you've noticed a shorter scale gives the higher strings a more vocal quality whilst making the lower strings rounder sounding. I prefer the more aggressive sound and the feel of a 36" scale but it's a very personal thing. For all the pondering we do about wood choices and so on with custom basses its amazing how the vast majority of customs are 34" scale or 35" for fives. FWIW I'm using 38-58-78-104-134 gauge strings on my 36" scale standard tuned five. Alex[/quote] Nice one Alex, there is quite a difference, however I don't really notice a whole lot different between the 33" and 34" in the lower register. What strings are you actually using on your bass dude? I've been experimenting a bit, with different strings, DR Sunbeams, SIT Nickel, DR LowRider Stainless Steel and Nickel, all in the heaviest gauges I can find. I love the sound of the SUnbeams the most, but they're hard to get hold of and are a little soft, it's a toughy... I'm on the Stainless Steel LowRiders just now and they've confirmed to me that I'm a Nickel man from now on... Cheers, Eude
  23. [quote name='Bassmonster' post='271555' date='Aug 28 2008, 09:38 AM']ah good news eude[/quote] Any more news on yours mate? Jon said he'd get me the pics of the neck laminates before the weekend, it's early stages though, roughly cut and routed for the truss rod, but that's as far for now... Cheers, Eude
  24. I'd vote for a refinish and a new neck. You could either go with a Warmoth job, but that depends on the RBV neck joint, failing that though, I'm sure Jon Shuker would do the refinish and build you a new neck to your specs. I'd always wondered about that Fear Factory bass, very very nice... Cheers, Eude
  25. Quick update... Jon is back from holiday and is working on the neck just now. The body is all finished and ready for assembly, so it's "not a million miles away" now. I reckon it'll be end of September, maybe early October. Hopefully might get a couple of pics of the neck soon to add a bit of colour to this build thread... Cheers, Eude
