Myke Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm up for either tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRISDABASS Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 It sounds like a four string will work for most people. I have a few spec ideas already! really excited about this one! Once the bass has been around everyone on the list it will probably be offered for sale (with ex demo pricing) to all basschat members Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Chris, could you please create a new thread, when you have finalised the specs, so that I can pin it as our build-diary-cum-bass-journey? This is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbobothy Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Hey I'd like to try it as well if possible please, by the way it's an ace idea and all in a good community spirit, nice one Chris Edited October 9, 2013 by jimbobothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete1967 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Oooh.... I'm in too. Any number of strings any number of frets (other than those of Chapman Stick proportions) is OK by me. I have a pile of recording to do so it would be nice to try something a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky72 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Sounds like fun, count me in. I'd prefer a 4 but would happily play a 5. Please don't make it a 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregBass Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'd love to give it a whirl!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywoodrox Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I think This sounds exciting, however many strings 4 or 5, would be interesting to try a 5. hpw much do you assume shipping would be to each on the chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubbersoul Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Fantastic idea - I'm in. 4 strings all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I guess if there is enough of us and we are well spread out over the country it could be done by meeting up and handing it over to the next person, there may be a few breaks in the chain due to large distances or time constraints that could be filled by couriers.

geoffbassist Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Great idea! I've played a few Alpher basses and they were all superb so whatever the test bass is it will be top quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougal Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'd like to try it, in either 4 or 5 string guise. Had a bash on one at the errr... bash. It were right tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leroybasslines Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Fab idea - I'm well up for it! I like basses to bring their own character to my playing, so whatever it is I'd love to give it a whirl... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'd love to give it a try too. 5 string fretless would be my choice as that's what I'm wanting, but I'm a 4 string fretted player just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoJoKe Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 [quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1381443983' post='2239384'] 5 string fretless would be my choice as that's what I'm wanting [/quote] There you go, the jury is in, ya see!! if not too fussy, I'm not too partial to extreme looking singlecuts either, but some lovely woods would be nice. My old Mk1 Wal fretless had olive ash facings on a mahogany core with a macassar ebony fingerboard which was as tough as steel and very slippery... That had a beautiful tone though a little on the heavy (weight) side, but thats Wal for you! Perhaps a nice combination to think about?

johnny dissident Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Fantastic idea, count me in. 4 strings with frets get my vote, but I'd try anything. I would guess that most of us would live close enough to deliver in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Definitely fretted for me please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
