[quote name='BottomEndian' post='974685' date='Oct 1 2010, 10:51 PM']Yes. No home should be without one. Incidentally, Mrs Endian has taken it upon herself to name this bass Cosette. Each to their own. She made comment about the "racy curves". [/quote] Maybe. Maybe. Cosette? Not Corset being your talking racy and curves….?

Gorgeous bass, great pictures. Do I need to add an ACG to my growing collection….? Hmmmmm….

Bought an OC-2 from Gareth. Top bloke to deal with, friendly communication and no issues at all. Top stuff. Cheers bud!

Hey dude, welcome to the forum. Shep

It did look like the ashdown rack was his when I saw them at rock city, but I suppose that was naive of me - who would fly an ashdown all the way from australia!? Seriously his tone was good enough to give me a prostate massage. Were you at rock city then? I'm going to see them again in Manchester, I think it's in December. EDIT: They were touring with a full pro tools rig, racked for their live sound - perhaps the bass is going through that too.[/quote] Yeah I was at city, and a few months before at Rescue Rooms with Skindred & Dead By April. Would love to see them at Manchester but we are without a car and can't afford to add train and hotel to the gig price I would think he was going into the Pro Tools rig. Would make sense to keep the band as 'CD-like' as possible.

[quote name='cheddatom' post='970357' date='Sep 28 2010, 09:12 AM']Ahhh, OK. Well his sound was great until Karnivool started playing. I'm pretty sure he gigs with Ashdowns but perhaps he uses Ampeg in the studio.[/quote] True. When I saw them last he was using an EBS Fafner, but it belongs to the support band. I spoke with him after the show and in his words he said that he prefers to gig with Ashdown or Ampeg, but is happy with any amp at all as he can get that tone put of anything given half hour with his EQ set up!

[quote name='skelf' post='970207' date='Sep 27 2010, 11:34 PM']There are 4 body shapes so not just that one. 6 strings I am not sure about I will see if there is any interest. That 5 is a 35" scale.[/quote] Indeed. I thought it a good idea to read the page properly! I'd be very interested on a 35" 6 string unlined fretless, 18-19mm spacing. Harlot or Recurve shape. Should one appear on your list to be built in the near future please let me know... And consider it sold

S.M.V - It's the first time I've heard it and you know what... It's damn good!

[quote name='tayste_2000' post='970202' date='Sep 27 2010, 11:24 PM']But can you trust yourself to use it properly?[/quote] Of course! I'm great! ;-)

Hmmmm... Not so sure about that body shape... Although the price is pretty fantastic! No 6'ers on offer though I'm strictly a 35" guy now to be honest as well...

Yup! You can't trust venues to have working gear, or knowing how to use it correctly. You CAN trust yourself to provide good fully working equipment. Makes sense to me!

That's the one. £900 I think it was dropped to. Silly money for a bass like that. If it had 19mm string spacing I'd get my credit card out now! EDIT: That one - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=85921&view=findpost&p=900797"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=900797[/url]

Lovely mate. Great bass. I had my eye on the 6 string he had up as a stock bass... That's a lot of bass for what Alan's asking. I have had a little ACG GAS recently... I should really learn to live with what I have!

Yeah, they are wonderful. True beauties, with a tone like no other. I miss my 5, but when the 6 is here it will be all worth it!

[quote name='Phil-osopher10' post='969919' date='Sep 27 2010, 07:35 PM']Well if i were to say i'd like to obtain the tone of ex incubus player dirk lance would that be good enough? and i'm only 22 so weight doesn't matter just yet![/quote] He used Eden heads & Warwick cabs… And had a defined Warwick thump (He used a Streamer Stage I 5 string if I recall) from his bass. The CD tone though is a good mix and lots of EQ. Live I'd say you can get that tone with many an amp & Bass if you spend the time to investigate the tone.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='969879' date='Sep 27 2010, 07:10 PM']I dunno if anyone has said this but you are quite lucky to be having a load of basses being custom made for you at the same time! Looks great, are you sure that neck is going to be wide enough for the pocket though? Looks a bit weird from the photo is all...[/quote] By a load you mean 2… But yes, I am pretty lucky. This one is a 'replacement' for a Spitfire 5 that wasn't behaving though so I've actually been without a bass of mine for some time now. I sure as hell hope the neck pocket is big enough! I'm sure Bernie wouldn't make such a silly error…. ^_^

See! Loads of options, at all power ratings, at all prices. Take your pick!
