MrT-Bass Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Bigwan that looks stunning. I'm going up to see Jon in a few weeks to put down a deposit and begin the process. a 5 string, with John East/ACG circuit and passive Delano pick-ups. I wanted the option of fully passive operation with the passive tone control still available and the john east circuits offer that. I'll begin a build diary once it's all confirmed. looking forward to seeing your finished bass T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Very nearly there! Only fitting the pots left to do. Should be in my grubby mits soon! I'm drooling here... More pics. The last one's were a bit light, these may seem dark in comparison, but the colour in these is closer to what I was after: [attachment=12903:DSCN4963.jpg][attachment=12904:DSCN4964.jpg] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7string Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Looks great. Jon made a ramp for my Conklin GT7 and he managed to colour match it very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peted Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 That is a gorgeous and eye-catching bass. Both the grain of the wood and the contrast between the paintwork and fretboard make it a real looker. Please post up some 'action shots' if you get the chance.

Bigwan Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 Well I was on the blower with Jon last night squaring up the remainder of the bill and organising shipping. The bass just needs a setup now and should be on its way to me on Monday. All being well it'll be here on Wednesday. I have to wait another week... so near... don't know if my nerves can take it... wibble... wibble... snarf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
