Rumple

Looks excellent using the Android browser, unfortunately Firefox goes to the full site, not a problem though as I'll keep the Andoid one just for Basschat - thanks guys.

I use Firefox on Android and I just get the regular site, can I force it to the mobile one?

Colour swatches for the body colour turned up in the post today from Lawrence and also the headstock logo from [email="[email protected]"]thedecalshop.co.uk[/email]

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1321982245' post='1445143'] I'd bet that a large proportion of those 19,000 members are long gone. it would be interested to see a breakdown of membership based on when they last logged on or their login frequency, e.g. # members who logged on in last week # members who logged on in last month # members who logged on in last quarter # members who logged on in last year # members who have only ever logged in once or twice (i.e. signed up, asked one question, then never returned). [/quote] I expect there are a lot of non bass players who have registered just to post a 'Bass Player Wanted' thread or someone replying to a 'For Sale' ad and have not been back since.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1321970842' post='1444919'] Yes! But remember only a fraction of that 19,000 are regular posters who have an opinion on the reputation system. If you're not a regular poster then you probably couldn't care less either way! [/quote] Wise words

I'm shocked only 160 people have voted out of nearly 19,000 members.

Oooo very exciting

Just a thought but a touch of delay to the octave above signals might help create the thickening effect by mimicking the minute gap between strings being played on a real 12 string.

So he did [attachment=93364:Frapp.jpg]

The parts have been shipped off to Lawrence and the final design signed off, I have ordered the headstock decal which will be similar to my 5 string one but contain the initials of my Great Uncle in the model name, there is only the matter of choosing what shade of teal I'd like before everything is in place... I think.

Voted

I remember they had a sliding pick-up on rails, at the time I thought it rather cool.

One thing I have noticed reading back over this thread is that the idea may not get treated in the same way by everyone thus at worse making it a bit meaningless at best making it confusing.

[quote name='nugget' timestamp='1321023461' post='1434512'] Neck / Fretboard was gorgeous, didnt flex any more than typical 1/4sawn maple etc only a little tweek on the truss rod! The supplier I got the timber from still has one more 6ft plank of that rio rosewood left - I might raide the bank and get the rest!!! [/quote] Well worth having a lump of that in the wood store if you can spare the £££'s

Wow! that's some beautiful wood, I really love the neck it's similar to something Roscoe do and give me an idea for yet another build

[quote name='LawrenceH' timestamp='1320963453' post='1433933'] That scratchplate is really elegant. I'd be seriously tempted to reuse that. Those crazy-looking oval Delano pickups that Ou7shined flagged up somewhere recently might match the aesthetic nicely. [/quote] That would look nice, I think Sandberg use those oval pick-ups on one of their basses.

[quote name='nugget' timestamp='1320956733' post='1433821'] Fretboard is Rio Rosewood, half heartwood half sapwood - from the same stock as body Lawrence is seriously good - it's gonna be a goodie for sure... Dave [/quote] Have you got more pics?

Thanks, the scratchplate took the most tinkering as not only did it have to look nice and work with the body shape but it had to cover some dodgy patching in the top facing. R. Really like the fingerboard on the bass in your profile pic by the way, what is that?

Here's the final drawing from Lawrence, it's basically a Jazz Bass with some nice little twists on the traditional look. Apart from the headstock decal I think I have all the parts needed so we should be good to get started. [attachment=92934:Final Design lr.jpg]

No ads with the blue IPS theme, I wish I could have that option on all the sites I visit.
