I'm a very lucky chap.

Fair enough, all I know is that the changes I've made, going from 35", through 34", to 33" and finally to 31.5", haven't resulted in anything negative for me, and I enjoy playing even more now. Eude

It's called "Fractal Birch", it's a man made figured effort made by laminating lots of wood together, as far as I'm aware. Alan could give you more accurate info on it I expect. I rather like it myself 😎 Eude

Feck, it's Sanctified, not Sin. Eude

OK, autocorrect made a fool of me. PINO Palladino. Eude

Very kind of you, it's actually a Piano Palladino line from a live version of a Nine inch Nails song. Eude

Cheeky wee sound sample of my TKO Modern 4... Eude

I've popped out the samples again, upped the gain a bit on the quieter ones and got rid of that dastardly hiss. For those who might have missed it, here they are again >> Eude

It doesn't as far as I can tell. I guess there might be something more subtle going on but I can't notice any difference at all. Eude

Absolutely, I get strings for my 31.5" scale basses wound with thicker cores to get back some of the tension lost by going shorter, and it works beautifully without having to go for a seriously heavy gauge. Eude

Love it! I've played that very bass too when Kev had it, I can confirm that it does play super fast and does indeed sound gnarly 😎 Eude

Link now fixed The amount of hiss is ridiculous though, will do it again tomorrow... Eude

Thanks fellas, will give it some attention later. Eude

Those are gorgeous little buggers! Eude

Some LONG overdue sound samples here! Recorded direct into my little Olympus LS-100, so no processing, compression or otherwise involved here, just the tone straight out of the bass. Soundcloud seems to have added some nice hiss when it compressed the WAV files, so sorry about that, it's not from the bass at all. Will try and figure out why and re upload when I can. Apologies in advance for the sloppy playing, I'm seriously out of practice here, I've been having some issues with my hands, which I though might be arthritis, but thankfully isn't but is yet to be properly diagnosed, and it's a bloody 6 string fretless! Anyway, here's a little playlist, including walking from the open B in semitones up to F on the C string and back down again so you can get an idea of the range and overall tone. I have to say, I'm delighted how the bass plays and sounds! Eude

Holy crap mate, that is stunning!

@therealting, I can't lie, the shift to 31.5" has been as much of a game changer as 33" was back when I originally commissioned that Shuker! Glad you like the basses though, and I'm delighted you're enjoying the old SC, it's an absolutely beauty! Eude

Here's mine... Eude

Well here you go folks, here's my 3 31.5" scale ACC 6 strings. I'm delighted with them, and I'm also going to be adding an ACG 5er soon too. Eude

I'm a bit of an ACG fan, and I've played that very bass, before Scoop had it. I've got 3 X 31.5" ACGs. Reckon I can sneak them in? I expect my 30.5" one might be pushing it though... Eude

I should add, lovely bass dude. Eude

Technically, that's a 31.5" scale, does that qualify? If so, I've got a few to share 😎 Eude

It's tough, I can't deny it. I tend to rotate through them, but try and give them all a good play as often as I can. The Finn SC 6er is my darling though, if I could only have one, it would have to be that one. Eude

Had a few moments to myself today, a real rarity, so rather than having a wee noodle, I took some shots of my amazing ACGs. Enjoy... Eude

Wow! What a transformation! That looks amazing, great work mate! Eude
