harvey1-8 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to body shapes, but I quite like that. Particularly like the fret markers on the side of the neck, nice attention to detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 very impressive, i love the way the top looks like it's melting on the roundovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Utterly beautiful - congratulations to both you and the builder - a dream realised. The attention to detail and finishing on the bass appear to be of the very highest order - it puts me in mind of Alembic in this regard. A staggering bass and worth the wait and effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peted Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Very nice indeed. I do like small bodied basses. When I look at it I keep thinking 'Conklin'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackLondon Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 Hopefully if I get a chance by the end of this week I should have something recorded with it as there's few ideas I need to send off to my guitarist anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackLondon Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Right, here's a very poor and short sample for you, sorry about the quality but I'm still figuring out how to use my recording equipment. In the file the EQ on the bass is flat, the only variation is the pickups so it goes Bridge-->Both-->Neck-->Both-->Bridge when you hear a second or two of silence that's where I'm fiddling with the knob as you'd say [attachment=48548:Simnett_JD6.mp3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatback Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Absolutely beautiful. I'd be afraid to take that out of the house Come to that, I'd be afraid to take that out of its case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
