well bro , let's say that i'm demanding..and demanding is costly ,some years of spare to get that one. Most for the "artistic "part .In that , it's one of the most beautiful bass i "posed" my eyes since ever , taking in account that i chose a lot of specs for the final result (so It' PERSONAL) . It has the sort of that sense of elegance and balance i longed for a Boutique since a while ,and since i'm timorous to say 100% about everything , let say is 95% the One . All the other boutiques around ,to me have always something "too common" or something "too wacky" . I have the same sensation in other Wt shapes ,but i repeat ,it's personal off course. ____________________________-- Haussel are an experiment done for me ,and at the same time for another guy who had a 5ver. One row is Big single poles ,ala Musicman ,other row is Jazz.For each pickup. Jazzbucker derived ,the originals jazzbackers are conceived to get the most close to original jazz tone ,once splitted, mine is different as i placed the musicman rows in 70' position. It did suit that bass.Strong "rock" sound, Great slap tone as no other ( 6ER ) i ' tried , expecially when splitting the Pu on neck ,or switching it in series for a more "drastic tone" , while putting the bridge Pu in parallel . So also , definetely funky with no effort and sacrifice of Tighteness , a sacrifice you get sometime with 6ers. Great easy "tapping " ,as you can see from the video.Though it was for fun . ________________________ Great ghost notes picking ..in that i found 2 piece bridge really good for that sort of "more transparent" recipe . I know that , as i did try identical basses with 2 bridges ; *The single mass bridge had more lows . *The 2 pieces bridge more "transparent" sensation ,not BETTER ,but better for what i had in my mind for the general result . In the specific ,final decision was to couple the big musicman Poles with a much transparent bridge . I would see a single Bigger bridge fitting a lot better the jazz pickups ,for example . In fact ,when i split the pu to get a jazz vibe ,it's not the setting i apreciate more ,time will tell with amplification and venues. _____________________ Final result was a surprise also for the builders ,when i did toy with internal settings on the pre and selected my "sweet spot". in fact the bass pot is always half maxed (its an only -gain bass pot ,you cant "cut"),and it never adds "mud",it just strenghten the tone i'm after. ____________________ sorry for the long post , i preferr to tell all the infos at once ,so it can be useful for others too. Rock Horns UP ,Guys Cheers , Ale

Guys ,i did receive my new custom ,it's gorgeus ,no photos lend the right justice but it plays and look stunning,feel like a child with the long longed for toy. Here you can see some photos in the luthier's home : [url="http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/alexlotta/chronos_finito/"]http://s162.photobucket.com/albums/t265/al...chronos_finito/[/url] something like that : NOT an INLAY ,but actual paint ,stunning on live view (i didt he draw myself ,1:1 on a"virtual KEyboard). The "art" stuff took many hours of labour from them (tryng color on wood batches before and so on) , but it was worthy for . I did a funny video on tapping ( a bit of irony-mood included ,to get the stuff "light " on view and hope sort of enjoable). the (in)famus sabre dance played on the original orchestra line ,tha you can check here : [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvT_ymywtfg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvT_ymywtfg[/url] ********************** It'a bolt on with the peculiar screw attachment on the back ,after trying both NT and BO by them ,for my style and needs i went there , though customizing a lot tiny details you can see fom outside (about some mm there and there ). Notice the wood knobs matching and so on...lovable . In slap ,the ONLY 6er in my life that "slaps" like that , i mean i feel not "the difference" i ALWAYS felt in all other 6ers i did try , botique and not ,and i own myself still a couple . The "tighteness" , if you get what i mean . ********************** Any curiosity or question ask away ^^ If you exclude electronics ,hipshot tuners and Ets bridge ,everything else aside it's done custom by hand ,including "Hybrid" Musicman/Jazz pickups done customly for me by Haussel in Germany ..damn... A " for life "keeper guys ..

I saw now that thread ^.Bought from him an onboard preamp a while ago ,flawless experience .Did't install it still but it was exactly like he said and offered kind help in the case too..THUMB UP for me^^

which specs were wound the wizards ( coils , poles/blade etc) ? I''m always curious to try different pickups and those are emg size-soapbars i see .
