[quote name='JayGarrett' post='656024' date='Nov 16 2009, 03:21 PM']They haven't got it listed but as they're having to order TC stock in (will be there within a coupla weeks) you may be able to order that in. I've had an email discussion and replies have been quick, friendly and helpful thus far. When I have my deposit from selling my rack stuff I may be tempted into asking about the 112 as well......... [url="http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/idleparis/"]http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/idleparis/[/url] I'll let you know if you don't find out before me [/quote] Nice one dude. Let me know how you get on. I won't be able to move on anything anytime soon, so I guess you'll know sooner than me Cheers, Eude

[quote name='JayGarrett' post='655924' date='Nov 16 2009, 01:17 PM']Cheers UB That's added to my 'I need this TC gear' thoughts and also given me some reassurance about dealing with Bonners. Was going to get the 210 and RH450 and if I need a little more bottom (ooooer!) might sling that cute 112 underneath which would also bring the height of the rig up a little more. But that's for another spend [/quote] Have Bonners got the 112 in stock? If so, how much they doing them for?... Eude

[quote name='steve' post='650781' date='Nov 10 2009, 04:11 PM']OMG, I turn my back for five minutes and my build thread gets hijacked by people advocating hard drugs... hmmmm that might actually be rock n roll Yeah, I've just fitted a GK3-B to my trb, and I have a Roland guitar synth incoming, so I'm thinking it would be nice to have the midi capabilities without all the pickup gubbins on the outside spoiling the lines. It's not 100% definate yet tho'. The inlays are narrow blocks of camphor (same as the top) instead of side dot markers that will extend along the top of the fingerboard to under the B string if that makes any sense[/quote] Wow, those inlays sound cool, very unique Sorry about the drugs, I blame Peter Eude

[quote name='steve' post='650549' date='Nov 10 2009, 12:36 PM']Yeah, it looks that way, altho' I'm waiting for my fingerboard to come back from having some inlays done, and Alan is also looking into fitting a piezo bridge and hexpander, so I'm not sure if that will set my eta back a bit[/quote] Piezo and Hexpander? Wow Steve, that's gonna be one hell of a versatile bass! What are you doing inlay-wise? Eude

[quote name='Jobiebass' post='648166' date='Nov 7 2009, 04:00 PM']As many of you might know I bought Eudes Shuker Pub bass which is 33" scale. I didnt notice too much difference when I first got it in size but now ive been playing that all the time its weird going back to a 34" scale. I was wondering, is 33" classed as short scale? I dont know what defines short scale. Most importantly what other basses have this scale? Thanks guys[/quote] Hey Chris, how's it going? Hope you're still loving the Pub Bass I personally don't notice a huge difference going back to a 34" scale bass, I just need to watch where my left hand is for a little while just to get back to normal. One thing I didn't expect though was how alien it was jumping from 33" to 35"! I had a go of Peter's beautiful Spector 5 string at the Moffat Bass Bash and I found the damn thing almost unplayable standing up! The Spector design, in my opinion, doesn't make the most efficient use of the bridge position on the body, as there's a good inch or so of a gap towards the edge of the body which you can see here >> [url="http://www.thebassplace.com/stock/spector-rebop4-flame.jpg"]http://www.thebassplace.com/stock/spector-rebop4-flame.jpg[/url] So, to me, the 35" scale felt more like 36" at least as the left hand position was so exaggerated compared to what I'm used to! Shame, as the bass itself was gorgeous and sounded so so nice, it's just not designed for short stocky bass players [quote name='alexclaber' post='648268' date='Nov 7 2009, 06:09 PM']If 30" is short, 32" is medium and 34" is long is 33" therefore medium-long? Alex[/quote] I like the idea of "Medium-Long" mate [quote name='funkypenguin' post='648343' date='Nov 7 2009, 08:19 PM']i dont own one but i have played a 33" scale 5 string strung with a B and it was perfectly articulate in the low register. i think it has alot to do with the standard of the basses construction and the standard of the preamp, same as any other bass. in my experience, if its well made and has a good electronics package going through a good amp, there's no reason why it shouldnt sound as good as a long scale bass strung with a B. edit: it was strung with D'Addario nickels. 130 B string[/quote] I've got a 33" Shuker 6 string string B to C and I've never really noticed any difference in note definition between the low B on it and the low B on other basses, including some 35" basses, although the low B on Peter's Spector mentioned above was legendary! I think you're right about the bass's construction, I don't think a mass produced bass would be able to deliver in this area, but a skilled luthier certainly can. Cliff Bordwell of CB Basses has even made some 32" 6 string basses which apparently have a very nice low B! The 33" scale also makes the upper register on the bass that little bit fuller and sweeter too, which going longer can detract from, from what I've heard. Also, I just strung up with some new D'Addario Nickels with a 135 B - tight as a gnat's Cheers, Eude

[quote name='peted' post='645022' date='Nov 4 2009, 09:55 AM']Got an email from Jon last night. Sounds like mine is about 3rd in his 'finishing queue'. I should get some photos soon showing off the birds-eye maple fingerboard (only photos I've got of this so far have it covered by masking tape). I'm hoping that it will be finished early next year.[/quote] That's a shame dude, that'll over a year since you started the thread You never know though, Jon might pull it out the bag and surprise you It's gonna be a hell of a bass regardless of when it arrives though! Eude

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='645853' date='Nov 4 2009, 11:38 PM']For all you guys who missed out on a fantastic weekend.... Like Shaun (4000), I too felt that there wasn't quite enough time to get through everything but considering that some participants travelled from both ends of the country(s) it would be hard to have it any other way. I think the more of these I attend the better I'll get at organising my own time.[/quote] Top post Rich, wasn't aware you where filming on the day! You can't have been that hungover either as there's no "shakey cam" effect going on. Was that done on your iPhone?... Cheers, Eude

Wow - that was quick! Looking good Eude

I'd like to thank Alan, Dave, Peter for such a successful and thoroughly enjoyable event and everyone else who turned up and made into a really special occasion. Mix in an excellent curry, too many beers and very little sleep and you've got the makings of an excellent weekend, nevermind the basses... As everyone has been saying, the amount, variety and quality of gear that everyone brought along was astonishing, but the real bell of the ball was Alan's 33" Chambered Skelf, although I'd have strung it B to C Closely followed by Alan's (niceguyhomer) Shuker 5 string, Matt's Starfire (get some flats on that thing!), Peter's ACG Harlot SC and Dave's Beheaded Harlot all in joint 2nd. [quote name='skelf' post='643278' date='Nov 2 2009, 11:55 AM']That rig in the last pic was a beauty,if I did not have the Dr Bass and the F500 I would be off buying that it was the stand out rig for me on the day.[/quote] Alan (again) had the nicest rig there, to my ears. The sound of that Aguilar head through the GS112 was just incredible, and the addition of the drive channel has basically made me realise, that I certainly don't need to replace my GS112, I just need another one and I need to shift the MarkBass head for an Aguilar one - job done. Don't suppose you've reconsidered swapping Alan? No?.... So thanks to all and bring on the next one ASAP! Eude

Nice I'm really intrigued with trying a passive again, was never that impressed, but I've never really messed with a quality passive bass. Maybe something for the future... Eude

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='623958' date='Oct 12 2009, 01:46 PM']Haha yeah, it's a cake, not a bass! But yeah, I am getting his shape not the traditional one. Just because of the pictures of that blue one, that's up for sale again here, looks a bit rounder.[/quote] Nice one I got mine done in a slab finish, just personal preference, reckon it can be as curvy as you want it. Eude

Oh, and are you going for the downsized J Bass body? It's really nice, dinky, comfy and still balanced, worth thinking about... Eude

Love the name change Eude

That's gonna be a cool bass Adam. Glad you went for the matching headstock, really makes the bass stand out. Eude

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='623738' date='Oct 12 2009, 09:02 AM']It was that or pink! Haha.[/quote] Each to their own I guess You going with a matching headstock too? Always thinks it adds that little bit more class to a fenderesque bass. You certainly won't be disappointed with Jon's work though, the stealthy J Bass I recently let go was the best Jazz Bass I'd ever played, and was certainly the sexiest bass I've ever owned, was sad to see it go. Unfortunately, the Jazz Bass sound just ain't me, perhaps if I'd gone with a Precision pickup and a MM at the bridge things would've turned out differently... Eude

Sounds like a great spec there mate! What's with the orange though?... Eude

I recently was lucky to have a shot of [b]funkle[/b]'s Laklands, both Skylines I believe, one Daryl Jones 4 string and one 44-02 (with a lovely Swamp Ash body). The Daryl Jones was a bit heavier and passive, and the 44-02 was active and very very light. Both where strung through the body and seemed incredibly resonant and lively, especially the 44-02. The DJ produced, well, Jazz Bass sounds, as you'd expect. The 44-02 was an incredibly versatile beast which could get pretty close to a Jazz Bass when you go passive and coil tap the MM pickup and could go all the way over to a full on Musicman sound in full active with the MM pickup soloed. Both basses where very easy to play and oozed quality and attention to detail. All I can really say is that, if you're looking at basses in this price range, I would certainly give a Lakland a go too. Cheers, Eude
