    Nice. What's the specs? Eude

    Although I'm a dyed in the wool Ashdown fan, I have the tiny wee Warwick practice combo, the BC10 and for the size and cost of it, it's marvellous! It wouldn't ever keep up with a band, but it's got enough going on to play with acoustic guitars and singers, anything unamplified. I expect the larger Warwick combos are even better. I would certainly explore the Ashdown Studio combos if your budget can stretch though, as I expect they're incredible! Eude

    Ha ha, significantly, sadly. However, I think with the increasing costs of US factory made Fenders, their Professional II and Ultra branded basses are actually in the same ball park! Eude

    I would agree that the above applies in your more common or garden factory made bass, i.e. when comparing a Mustang to a Precision bass. As soon as you talk about hand made basses, none of that can really be applied as you're not comparing apples with apples. I would argue that, just for example, a 30" 5 string Serek would likely have a better B string than a 34" factory made Fender Jazz 5 string. Just my 2p Eude

    The price on those Miezo basses is fantastic, the ETS bridge unit and tuner block alone would take up a very big chunk of the $480 asking price!

    If you want flats, try out TI Flats too, they are wonderful strings!

    Another vote for Netwtone here. LaBella do very nice short scale strings too by all accounts, but with Newtone, they can wind specifically for your needs. I play 31.5" scale basses and Neil winds a set based around a 0.100 E for me, designed to feel more like a 0.105 set, of that makes sense? Heavier, hex core I think is the trick They''re also wound to the exact length I need so the wrap round the tuner doesn't upset the witness point on the nut. Lots of clever stuff can be done to get the absolute best out of a short scale instrument when you know the right folks Eude

    I think that construction and string technology has really come a long way recently, so I think a shorter scale bass makes for a great proposition now, they're not just plummy sounding "beginner" basses any more. I do think that there being so many of them all of a sudden has a chunk to do with them being trendy, but I don't think they will recede back to how things were a few years ago. I personally have gone shorter, 31.5" in my case, and I really can't see any negatives. Eude

    That's a really cool bass! I think that some folks have now realised that a bass doesn't have to be huge to still be a bass. There was a classic, weird little bass back in the 60's/70's, not quite sure when, which was regarded as a wonderful bass for recording when you needed that big thick short scale tone, the Airline Pocket Bass, which has recently been reissued by Eastwood >> https://eastwoodguitars.com/collections/bass/products/airline-pocket-bass That's a 26.5" bass, and they haven't struggled to sell them. Modern pickup technology, modern strings and considered construction have made it possible to create super usable, yet compact and easy to play instruments that sound great! I hope we see a lot more of these wee beasties! Are you going to make yourself another one like your last one? Cheers, Eude

    Is 26.5" too short to join in? Eude

    My Oh My! What a stunning bass! Eude

    Thanks for the heads up @BassBunny, but it's not quite the right thing. The factory built NEO combo is smaller, lighter, it also has a tweeter and different porting. This is a fantastic combo, but I really need something that wee bit smaller so I leave it in the living room Good luck with the sale @funkydoug Cheers, Eude

    I saw it on Instagram, sounds fantastic! Be interested once you get it to see if Jake's managed to make Dunlop manufacture a medium scale low B string... Hopefully it arrives very soon! Eude

    Love it, I actually prefer that design, and I much prefer a bolt-on single cut too Amazing.

    If you fire it off to Ashdown, it's probably the typical Class D circuit breaker problem, my, MiBass 2.0 had it, same symptoms, nothing from the speakers, but the headphone out worked. Or of course, anyone who buys it could Eude

    Wow, that is super hot!

    FMC bass cabs

    eude replied to ebenezer's topic in Amps and Cabs

    No worries. I was just always super impressed with the amount of low end that cab threw out. I appreciate the speaker was probably nothing special compared to modern drivers, the box was just seemed to be tuned very low, at the expense of some mids. I've seen FMC do a cab of a similar format to the GS112, I expect it's probably better, modern drivers, learning from other designs etcs... Eude

    That is super cute! Bit random, but do you have any experience if Aggie's now defunct GS112 cab? That is the nicest small cab I've owned, and it had a glorious amount of low end for the size of it. Just wondering how this compares... Eude

    Stunning!

    Don't worry, it's not the longevity that was my concern, my design was quite fiddly, which made it tricky to print and apply, so it ended a little wonky. Anyway, I had to get yet another enclosure as the drilling wasn't right. Got a gold one this time, but I still reckon black graphics would look best... Cheers, Eude

    Where did you get the brass transfer from? I need to get some graphics printed for a custom pedal, I tried vinyl but it wasn't great... Eude

    Wow, that is something else! Amazing work buddy!
