Nice one mate! Looking great. What EMG Pickups are you going for by the way? Cheers, Eude

[quote name='nash' post='147626' date='Feb 27 2008, 09:44 AM']ok could be an idea. didnt think i would need it as im not using and active eq[/quote] Hey Nash, I'm pretty sure that EMGs need a voltage of some sort regardless. If you're wanting to go passive though, Jon's started stocking Delano pickups which are pretty nice, tried some on some older Sandbergs a while ago. These PMVC4 FE/M2's sounded huge! Nice spec by the way, only thing I think you missed is hardware colour, although I reckon black would look pretty nice. Really hope this one comes together. Cheers, Eude

[quote name='TheBrokenDoor' post='147080' date='Feb 26 2008, 08:30 AM']I'm on the hunt for a suitable head (gonna have a peak at the little giants). If that doesn't go well, I way let the cab go, so I'll keep you all posted!! Dan[/quote] Hey bud, If the Little Giant ain't suitable and the regular Little Mark is a bit pricey, you should check out the Little Mark 250, can be had for less than £300. I got one last year with an Aguilar GS112 and I'm loving it! I know it's only putting out 150 Watts at 8 Ohms but it's more than replaced the 200W 15" Trace Combo I was using before and I know I can add another GS112 and get all the wattage out of it. 150 Watts with a decent speaker, which you've got already, is good enough for quiet(ish) gigs and for on stage monitoring when using a PA at bigger gigs. Just my 2p. Cheers, Eude

[quote name='dood' post='146821' date='Feb 25 2008, 06:49 PM']+1 (million). Nash, the JJ basses sound great, they really do. Jon is a damn good chap.[/quote] + another million! You won't be disappointed, plus I doubt it'd cost you much more than a Lakland Skyline Bob Glaub and probably less than one of those new American Standard Fender P Basses... Keep us all posted, sounds like it'd be one hell of a sexy bass! Cheers, Eude

Nice one meester Monster, looking great! Eude

That bass is gorgeous mate! How's it compare having played Warwicks for so long? Never seen a 4 string Bolin before either, very very nice. Eude

Is it wrong that I'm now rocking a semi and I'm only on page 14?! Nice find [b]dmz[/b]! EDIT: HOLY KARP! Eude

Nice work [b]Gilmour[/b], glad to hear it worked out so well! Eude

Has anyone got any pics of any of Mike's Custom Built Cabs? Eude

[quote name='Raggy' post='139343' date='Feb 13 2008, 10:37 AM']"Does anyone know what kind of things he's offering?" By the sound of it...anything you want. Speakers, coverings, configurations. I said to him what I was after, and he said "leave it with me and when your ready i'll build them"[/quote] Oooooh, now that's even more tempting then! That's got my mind racing now... Yet another thread that's not good for my GAS! I think I need some Rennies! Eude

I really like the sound of these! I bought a MarkBass Little Mark 250 and an Aguilar GS112 from Mike last year and was really very pleased with the service, and amazed at Mike's ability to talk forever even though I kept telling him I was at work! As much as I like the 1X12, I'm tempted to get a couple of 1X10 cabs made up so I can get the full wattage out of the MarkBass and to have the flexibility of two cabs... Does anyone know what kind of things he's offering? Maybe I should just give him a call. I'll post anything I find out. Cheers, Eude

Nice work [b]Gilmour[/b]! That looks amazing! I've been GASing for an [url="http://www.billfitzmaurice.com/Omni12.html"]Omni 12 Tall Boy[/url] for a while, and you're really not helping... Glad it came together so well though, credit to your craftsmanship. Cheers, Eude

There's a few guys on talkbass.com who've got their hands on the new American Std. Precision V. Apparently it kicks serious ass and is what all the P Bass purists have been waiting for... Cheers, Eude

Got mine couriered too. As with everyone else, the set up was what I asked for too. If you've got graphite rods in the neck, it'll hardly shift at all anyway! Cheers, Eude

Consider yourself PM'd Pete! Cheers, Eude

You could just go with a grill cloth maybe? Perhaps a nice sliver one for a cool vintage vibe... Would afford at least a little protection, keep dust out and probably wouldn't add much weight-wise at all... Just my 2p Eude

They've got one here, or so it seems anyway >> [url="http://www.rockingrooster.co.uk/product_info.php?PID=364"]http://www.rockingrooster.co.uk/product_info.php?PID=364[/url] Looks real nice in Black/Maple with a gold anodized Pickguard. Fender's lineup doesn't include the Precision Special Deluxe or the Active version anymore Some shops might still have stock though... Cheers, Eude

SX Precision, totally stock (apart for the scratchplate) DI'd and with or EQ or nothing![/quote] Nice one paul! That's a pretty decent sound from a very cheap bass, great playing too, not so sure about the dancing though... Reckon I'm going to have to get me one of those SX basses! Cheers, Eude

The seller doesn't seem to know much about these instruments, might go for a song, ahem, pardon the pun...

Was on the stock page for a while on Jon's website, in fact, it might still be, although I know it sold a while ago...

[quote name='mcgraham' post='120898' date='Jan 15 2008, 04:11 PM']Do you find there's a discernable, but perhaps unquantifiable benefit in this scale length? Some people say it feels easier to play than a 34" scale length. What's your take on it? Big enough difference to warrant giving the luthier a bit of hassle?[/quote] It certainly makes a big difference for me. I play a 6 string bass and having a shorter distance to stretch in any direction really helps. Obviously going shorter would be even better, but it would start to compromise the low B response. That wouldn't be so much of an issue with a 4 string though. I reckon it'd definitely be worth having a chat to a luthier to get their take on it and an idea of the other work involved beyond just getting a neck made. If you're ever in Edinburgh you're more than welcome to have go of my Shuker to see what you think of the shorter scale length. Cheers, Eude

Hey Mark, My Shuker 6 string has a 33" scale. I really haven't experienced anything negative about going and inch shorter. I'm not the biggest of guys so the slightly shorter scale really makes things more comfortable. There's no loss of low end and the upper register, particularly on the higher strings seems a little bit sweeter in tone. One thing to consider though, is that adjusting the string's "speaking" length without changing anything else will effect the relative position of the pickups, if you see what I mean. It would be like shifting the pickups slightly closer to the neck. It won't be too drastic on a 33" scale, but any shorter might make a big difference to the sound from the pickups. Hope that's of some use, if you got any other questions just shoot. Cheers, Eude
