By cool I mean those who exude presence onstage with minimal effort and can play demanding basslines without breaking sweat. Kinda like this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQk0av8L0oY[/media] [/quote] He's got more ASS bins in his rig than there used to be in LA1......

Beautiful. Well done Andy.

Nice. Very nice. I'm jealous.

Looking really classy there Andy.

I do love a bass with prongs.... Fantastic collection Lorne!

Good luck. Watching with interest. Andy's builds have inspired me too, but I'm not sure Basschat is ready for my particular brand of quality carpentry.....

Thanks Basswood. I shall check them out. I usually plug in anyhow, so thats no biggie. Stuart

Hello Folks, Looking for a bit of wisdom and advice. I'm thinking of buying an acoustic bass, I'd like it to feel (and sound) as much like my ShortBass one as possible. Anyone got any ideas where I can get nygut strings in long scale? Or what sort of 'conventional' strings would replicate the feel and sound of the thunder guts on my ShortBass? Needless to say,Aquila don't/won't do long scale strings and my enquiry to Pahoehoe seems to have gone the way of all flesh... All thoughts gratefully received Stuart

Great work. It's always nice to see a bass brought back to life!

Lovely work Andy. Enjoying this one.

That is a lovely looking bass, even at this early stage. The honey maple is glorious. Is the body unusually deep? I only ask because it looks like there is a lot of headroom in the control cavity!

[quote name='Rich' timestamp='1462005048' post='3039437'] I've read in several interviews that Macca stopped using the Wal live because it was so heavy. In those same interviews I've never seen any mention of it being down to Mr McManus' geeky nose-poking. As for "It had, much to Costello's horror, five strings", this just makes him even more of a complete tit AFAIC. [/quote] This.

What sort of strings are you planning to put on this Andy?

'Derby's Rob Allen'- now there's a thought, eh Andy?.... Subscribed!

That fingerboard is going to look lovely with the swifts. Very tasteful Andy. Nice touch.

Looks a treat Andy. Well done and thanks again!

Ahhh, now I understand. ... Thats a neat solution Andy.

"John Entwistle at his best" Sounds awesome!

That looks lovely Andy. Just remember what it USED to look like.

Does having the wireless TX fully enclosed in the body of the bass have any effect on the range then?
