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

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

Project "No Longer a Frog" 5 string Single Cut Bolt On
eude replied to spacecowboy's topic in Build Diaries
Love it, I actually prefer that design, and I much prefer a bolt-on single cut too Amazing. -

Wow, that is super hot!
-
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!

First time making a bass, Singlecut NT 5 string
eude replied to spacecowboy's topic in Build Diaries
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! -
Brilliant, looking forward to hear how you get on with the little one too!
-
That looks awesome, I love the fact it's basically a cube too. You getting on well with it's big brother too?
-
That is stunning.

Yup, and given the LWA1000 is a serious piece of kit, with a class A preamp designed by none other than Jonas Hellborg, and can now be had for the cost of the soon to be released 250w gnome. I know where my money would go! Eude

Big Splits would certainly get you close. From what I've read, they're kinda like a P Bass and a Jazz had a BIG baby, if that makes sense? I think live, or in a mix, most would struggle to tell yh difference. The only obvious issue would be the aesthetic, if you wanted a PJ look. Eude

Well I would absolutely give Aaron Armstrong a shout. He can wind the pickups to your specs too, or even just your sonic preference, and I expect he'll be cheaper than Aguilar and Nordstrand. Eude
-
Are they more expensive than Nordstrand?
-
There's obviously Nordstrand and Delano too.

Don't forget Aaron Armstrong, he makes phenomenal pickups! http://www.armstrongpickups.co.uk/bass-pickups/ Eude
