[quote name='Bassmonster' post='205704' date='May 24 2008, 09:18 PM']Just got the latest update from Jon, the body will be getting its final spray this coming week, can't wait to see how it turns out[/quote] Nice one, can't wait to see how the colour turns out. Eude

[quote name='Finbar' post='205691' date='May 24 2008, 08:35 PM']Well Jon says the bass is finished! He said I could pick it up tomorrow, but I'm not around tomorrow, so it'll have to be sometime in this coming week. To say I'm excited is an understatement [/quote] Nice one Finbar, you must be well excited! Can't wait to see the finished article mate, you must be peeing your pants! Cheers, Eude

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='204909' date='May 23 2008, 12:40 PM']Accugrove Tri-112?[/quote] Now you're really not helping my GAS at all bud! That things lighter than my Aguilar GS112 too, but not on the wallet... Cheers, Eude

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='204499' date='May 22 2008, 07:12 PM']You mean just like a Dr Bass 1260? [url="http://www.drbasscabs.com/"]http://www.drbasscabs.com/[/url][/quote] Wow, yup, just like that, at least in principle. Although, I had envisaged something a bit more upright, as I'd be using it as a standalone cab, kinda like the Hartke 2200, but much much more compact... Cheers, Eude

[quote name='Raggy' post='204340' date='May 22 2008, 03:02 PM']Mike will make pretty much anything you want from what he told me.[/quote] Anything at all? I'd love a 4 ohm 3 way cab, with a 12 inch woofer, 8 or 6 inch mid cone and a tweeter all in a compact, hopefully one hand lift. Maybe in some nice camo or dark green tolex too, hmm... Does anyone have Mike's email address? Cheers, Eude

Mate that is beautiful. *Thinks* Can I get to Sheffield without Mrs T knowing Pete[/quote] 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 name='Finbar' post='204130' date='May 22 2008, 10:48 AM']I'll still try and get a couple pics for you when I'm up there - Jon's finishing date for my build just keeps slipping, so I ain't been to pick it up yet [/quote] Awesome bud, most appreciated

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 name='Brave Sir Robin' post='203771' date='May 21 2008, 05:45 PM']oh my... [/quote] Wow! I'm extremely jealous right now! You must be well chuffed! Cheers, Eude

Looking good mate! How long do you reckon it'll take now? Cheers, Eude

Nice work that man! The bass is looking great! Eude

Nice one 7 String! This is going to be a beast of a bass and I know Alan will really get it right too! Does this mean you'll be going for a change of username? Cheers, Eude

Hey bud, I really like the idea of the clear scratchplate, as you say it'd tie in with the origins of the design. I certinaly wouldn't go for any other material though, it'd be a real shame to hide that beautiful wood Picking up as early as Monday? That's awesome news... Cheers, Eude

Hey Mart, I got a LittleMark 250 and an Aguilar GS112 last year, replacing my old Trace Elliot 1X15 Combo >> [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5152"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=5152[/url] It came in about £600 by the way. I couldn't be happier with it! I intend to add another Aguilar cab when I can afford it, probably the GS112NT one, but for small venues unaccompanied or for monitoring on larger stages it's absolutely amazing! What's even better, is I can get the head in a laptop bag on one shoulder, my bass on my back and the cab in one hand! I thoroughly recommend it as it sounds like your requirements are similar to my own. I'd also check out the GenzBenz Shuttle head and cab combos too over at www.bassdirect.co.uk - they look very interesting too. Cheers, Eude

WOW! The bass is looking amazing dude! Funnily I quiote like the look of it without any controls, nice and clean Congrats dude Eude

[quote name='Bassmonster' post='187825' date='Apr 29 2008, 09:45 AM']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.[/quote] Cheers bud, I'm really quite pleased with it. I've passed it on to Jon and he really likes it too. I was thinking that I'd use it for a simple passive back up 6 string, but I really want a fretless 6 too, so that'll probably take precedent and I'll use that shape, and just the one pickup too, nice and simple Probably have to wait till bonus time though, next year Eude

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 name='Ant' post='187068' date='Apr 28 2008, 11:18 AM']Yeah, should look something like this: i can't wait - i love the look of it.[/quote] That's gonna look so damned cool mate! Can't wait to see the finished article! Cheers, Eude

Nice one d-basser, that bass is gorgeous! What's the specs on the scale length, do those things not have a 37" scale B string!? Eude

[quote name='OldGit' post='183527' date='Apr 23 2008, 09:29 AM']Just wondered if there are any regularly used single cuts in rock and roll? I don't think I've ever seen one on the telly and it does seem to be a Jazz /ERB / soloist body style ..[/quote] I think you're right Si. Up until recently, Single Cuts, or at least the modern boutique variety have been solely reserved for that kind of player, probably more to do with price than anything though. There are of course the older kind, some of of those lovely 70s Les Paul basses for instance, now they've been used and abused in rock music for decades. Probably the original single cut bass, probably wrong though... Nice Eude

[quote name='presoulnation' post='183063' date='Apr 22 2008, 06:52 PM']Now that does look pretty awesome! Hmmmm.....I see a little chat with Jon coming on friday.......not quite sure exactly what I want to go for, and I also see nothing wrong with the shape of his basses, I just fancy something just that little bit individual [/quote] Nice one, with the single Pickup it reminded me of 7string's Sei actually, which is incredibly drool-worthy. I'm pretty certain that's what's next on the list for me though, once I get my hands on my Shuker Pub Bass that is Keep us posted on what you decide, if you want a hand roughing a shape out, I don't mind helping out using Illustrator, although if you want a proper mockup i do believe Sugden does some cracking renderings of basses, I think he's been doing all of Skelf's for AC Guitars of late, which look brilliant. Cheers, Eude

Looks good enough to eat mate Eude

Nice one mate, single cuts are the bomb! That spec is gonna be brilliant! Eude
