Thank you! It'll be even better with a good player I guess... That's why I didn't make a "pro" demo video yet.

Thanks mate but it has been updated... I chose the Bartolini between the 3 pickups. As for the fretless, it's almost finished, I just need a decent player to make a good demo or I'll do it myself ASAP. Meanwhile I thought I deleted it but no : https://youtu.be/cyG8TqB2hy8?si=bVhqellN9Y48scKQ But it has 9J1 (original dual coils) in the end not 9CBJS1 (singles classic barts) but it's pretty close.

Update : I've created a website, sorry so far it's french only but compatible with Google Translate ; www.elwraybasses.com And both last models fretted and fretless have already been sold. So I have to make a new batch (still processing the costs) of 4 basses; 2 in four and 2 in five strings. I'm currently looking for a machine (I found it but in USA) for radiusing fretboards, with a sanding belt, not with the router tool, with new templates and custom orders to Bartolini it may costs some $$. I'm still into a passaround but as I asked in my Nitti's sale post, I'm wondering what is happening for a donation, poassaround, well anything which is "free" and pass through the border?

I did my best to make a demo. Added to the first post.

Updated introduction, with a defintive version.

Hello&welcome D'addario XL? in flats they are pretty close to the fender ones.

Hello hello people Didn't want to make too many updates for nothing... So now I am at 4 basses finished (or almost) including 2 as I consider good for sale. Not really the question to sale or not to sale now but I'm more into a pickup contest... I can't decide between 3, or, more accurately, 2 sets of pickups. I've made a video (not including the fretless who is made with Jazz Bartolini 9J1) for you to help me. After many trying (I just received the Bartolini's today so I need a bit of recoil) I tend to exclude the EMG set ; it is good but for my tastes, too 'expected' sound... I'd rather go for a sound with more growling mediums. So far I still prefer the SSB for fingering, they have that smooth but 'in the face' sound. But the Bart's (coming right from USA) have some lovely, lovely clear highs and some crisp details in it. I recorded a very mediocre video with the Adam Nitti as a "reference" and just playing all open or bridge tone off (my most used configurations), sorry for P lovers. I'd like you to give your opinion on this, if you have 5 minutes. Here's the beasts on the wall: The fretless is just a beautiful monster with a flamed maple / ash body and Ziricote fingerboard with fretlines. (black tuners are coming) Here's the vid; https://youtu.be/BQT2Eme2dIM Thanks !! You can also go to youtube and like the comment related to the pickup you enjoyed the most.

Best preamp ever. Congrats!

Thanks! I'm waiting the wood to make the 3rd "proto", exactly the same configuration but with Bartolini pickups. I know that the look could be a bit "standard" for some people but I choose to make a design I like and at the same time something quite.. classic. From there I'll choose between the 3 pickups sets to make a proper introduction to a definitive version.
