Like most of Jens' stuff I think the craftsmanship really can't be denied and I love the fact the man is happy to work outside the box. Personally I like this one

[quote name='leftyhook' timestamp='1326677281' post='1500473'] How the heck does that fanned fret thing work then? looks cool, but......am I just being thick? [/quote] Extremely well Honestly it's to stop lefties just flipping the bass over Nah, I'll let someone who knows a lot more than me explain it but if you havn't tried one yet you should!

The fact that they've even designed a new string retainer says it all really. Great attention to detail!

That looks fantastic! love the scratchplate!

Just out of interest why do people consider skinnier necks to be faster? I struggle on skinnier necks personally..

[/quote] Why is the word it brings up in my mind "brutal"? There's something mean about that bass, I hope it's a growly bass monster

I don't tend to need to do it much, I do wonder whether it's because I tend toward a middy/top sound rather than deep bass.

Holy jebus, time to start saving up the pocket monies

I'm on the other side of the fence here, he fits all the other stuff great so a bit of "training" would go down well and hopefully bring them all closer together Eye contact helps (had to do this with the singer recently) and being pedantic as hell about it, although what we found works even better is one on one practices. Bass and drums. None of the other crap, then he'll hopefully realise he's a bit out and tell you each time and ask to do it again

Good man

If you're a pick player or use finger nails then elixers don't seem to last as long as normal strings (atleast in my case) I can take a set of elixers and shred them in less than 2 days easy...

Heavy curtains will probably do a better job of bother. Can't get/afford curtains? Hang the carpet instead. The sound escaping to the outside world and also the reflections are reduced far further with air between the two surfaces. The larger the gap the bigger the effect.

Short of getting custom strings or transposing the bassline you're a little bit stuck here I'm afraid. Why not do a 'version' of the track and alter it a bit to suit your bands style while you're at it? Although I'm sure I've played this in the past and it wasn't that far down tuned... odd

I still need to try a Matamp, but it could be fatal

I thought the SG's were generally quite heavy too. I suppose it atleast partially comes down to budget and requirements, can you give us any more details?

[quote name='Machines' timestamp='1326193737' post='1493461'] It's the beginning of Skynet. [/quote] You mean SkyChat

Not yet, sorry guys. I might be moving it back to march/april time as things are hectic at the coming months.

Lol GAS strikes again

nice one silddx I suppose that would translate into fanned frets lol

Might be worth checking local uni's some people just want the opportunities.

Might be worth it just for parts?

Good luck playing my basslines on a 5er without altering tuning still CGCF, I quite like half step down personally. Gives an interesting tone.
