I've just read my way through the thread from the start and I can't believe this has all come on since May 16th! I love this instrument and I don't even have it yet! I've been through build processes before with different luthiers but this one is very special. Very special indeed. Shep

[quote name='cheddatom' post='969660' date='Sep 27 2010, 04:44 PM']Lol EDIT: I quite fancy a go on one but no idea where you'd find one. I saw a guy playing a 6 string bongo supporting Karnivool but to be honest I totally forgot about that band after Karnivool blew them away (and their bassist uses a 6 string thumb AFAIK).[/quote] That was Illuminatus And yes Karnivool are bloody awesome. Karnivool Bassist uses A Warwick Thumb NT 6 through Ampeg's with a rather elaborate effects set up… but the sound is a true monster.

Headstock doing an impression of the Robo-Centipede of Doom! :-) Now I may be slightly biased, but that looks frigging awesome.

A friend of mine owns a 6 in an odd midnight blue colour. Sounds great, very versatile, I actually think they are the nicest and most rounded sounding of the Musicman range… but… Being a 6 player I know what I like and I find them horrid to play sitting (not a problem if you stand to rehearse and perform) and I also dislike the neck profile ALOT. I'm not sure what it is about it, I just find it a little primitive for a serious instrument… kinda like a baseball bat. Of course this is all subjective… my mate loves it so much he sold every other bass he owns! The bassist from Illuminatus also played one when I saw them live last and that sound was so huge I was almost sick :-) [url="http://www.illuminatus.uk.com/"]http://www.illuminatus.uk.com/[/url]

Bass Direct will ship to Ireland and his prices are very reasonable. Mark stocks a huge amount of high end equipment and is very helpful when it comes to finding the right thing for your requirements. Check them out… [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk[/url]

Depends on the am and how it drives it power as far as I'm aware (correct me if I'm wrong). What amp are you looking at?

I have a TC BG500 up at the mo and that will fill most venues without PA support it's a monster! There have been a number of Tecamp combo's in the same boat recently as well as a few high powered Trace combo's.

Like it alot. How are you finding the Synth? I'm loving it!

Marseer all fretted and nut fitted.

Real pretty. Lovely neck!

Well... 5 rehearsals with my board and no desire to alter anything. I can't recall feeling that before!

Bernie is the sole distributor of EBS gear in the UK. Bernie is your man. If you contact EBS direct, in most cases they will direct you to Bernie as well!

EBS Neo 212. Best cab I've ever had, and ive had a few! Light, powerful, punchy and the best tweeter I've heard. Not cheap... But a worthwhile investment!

For a clean studio sound I go with either an EBS, TC or EA amp/combo. I find them the most neutral dousing an the easiest to get a good sharp recording from. Just me though There was a 12" EBS Drome combo in the for sale section that would of been perfect!
