I have often fancied a REALLY thin bass. Now I know it is possible. Uh oh!

[quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1432413160' post='2781290'] Rob Still makes them fretted! But he is busy. Here is my fretted 5 MB-2 with 33 scale [/quote] I asked him about a fretted Deep 5. Probably just as well because I could not afford one

The sensitivity knob does have a certain[i] je ne sais quoi[/i].

[quote name='PTB' timestamp='1432400374' post='2781179'] Oh boy, that's cool! With apologies for going off topic, what is it please? [/quote] Yep, sorry about the derail from Rob Allen goodness. You can read about it here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/104007-5-string-bass-ukulele/page__hl__bass%20uke. I would LOVE either a Deep 5 or a Mouse but would need them fretted. Mr Allen said no He does create lovely instruments.

I have some basses with luminlay. The one with a rosewood board is great but the one with maple neck and board is ........... not so great in daylight. I should have thought it through! I am subbing to this cos I love your builds.

[quote name='PTB' timestamp='1432112134' post='2778183'] Hmmm....I have just bought & am enjoying a £90 fret less bass uke. I can that this is where I will end up in a few years!

[quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1432134409' post='2778484'] Love it! And really loving my Deep 5 [url="http://s113.photobucket.com/user/Houmann/media/imagejpg19_zps52683883.jpg.html"][/url] [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6kNTPAHVb8"]https://www.youtube....h?v=i6kNTPAHVb8[/url] [/quote] DEEEEEEEEEEEEEP FIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not much gives me GAS these days, but that does. Or a Mouse for that matter.

I am loving this. I would love to have these skills.

Fair play, that is quite a list!

I tried a pedal steel once. My brain still hurts.

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1431094966' post='2767789'] You get lower even order harmonic distortion as the motor/suspension asymmetry cancels each other out. It's something I've been thinking of doing in a larger sub too. [/quote] As I said, my head hurts.

My head hurts, but the EAW label must mean good things

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1431080834' post='2767563'] Good point! we're going to try it with half the drivers reverse mounted. [/quote] ACME 2x12"tastic! (?)

I love TI Jazz Rounds. They are lush. I also love the Newtone round core low tension strings. They are also lush (and cheaper).

I should really consider all I want to say and post it all at once.

The Christopher one is made from the same pattern as the Roth one. I tried wheels once and they are great if you are in a building with a nice flat floor, but otherwise it scared me rigid bouncing my bass along pavements etc.

It is a very long time since I dealt with a Ritter DB bag, but the proportions were way out of whack back then. I cannot speak for them now.

The Roth and Junius one looks to be a direct knock off of my Reunion Blues one which I bought 20 years ago and is still in A1 nick. Obv I cannot vouch for the build quality now, but having studied the pics it seems to be a direct copy.

Pimp my cab!
