Looking forward to this, i think it will look like Cat Steven's Bass Player's gold flake ASAT (his name escapes me). U can get those gold strings (again make and model escape me) Its early after not much sleep I'm not a big fan of those 'humerous' logo's. I'd say either go for the actual Fender logo or try and do something like your own signature etc. I went for a Fender logo on my P Project because i like the aesthetic! Pics!!!! Si

Well i like my Fender Case lol I also have have a MusicMan style SKB case that i got from Eubassix! Great case, super sturdy, plenty of room for peripherals. Si
-
Maybe it is But the Ergodynes were definitely made from it! Si

My moulded logo fender case is great! Survived numerous gigs and tours and still lines up! But yeah, copy tweed cases can be ordered from most decent music shops for not much bunce! Si

Hey, i didn't bad-mouth the neck pocket did i, i just wanted pictures! [quote]If the neck moves in the pocket tighten the screws up[/quote] A neck wouldn't move in the pocket if it was a tight fit! And just for clarity, this particular gap doesn't bother me Si -
I use a Laney RB1 for practice at home! Fantastic little kick back amp for low to medium volumes, love the tone, don't need to crank it simply because its a practice amp really. I've used it on a couple of small upright gigs to great success, but thats about it. Si

So my poor Shuker Custom Electric Upright has been sitting in its case for a while now, having not had an upright gig in a long time. Obviously i can take pics although am just wondering what people think at the mo. The spec is the standard one found on John's website, although the body on mine looks deeper then his gallery pics, it's made from African Mahogany with an Imbuya Burl top and matching headstock, is 36" scale and has the Schertler transducer pickup system. The fingerboard is unmarked but has dots and lines on the side. It attaches to the supplied tripod stand The bass is in fantastic, almost mint condition apart from a couple of very very minor scuffs on the top of the headstock. It would come with the Shuker softcase and a bow, which, IIRC is a Stentor brazilwood w/ebony frog 3/4 bow costing about £120 new. Collection only as i would urge people to try it! It cost £1375 NEW + Bow = £1495 I would want around [b]£900[/b] for this or see possible trade list in post below Cheers for looking Si p.s. forgot to mention, theres a video on my personal myspace of me bowing the bass for Gabby Young, listen through headphones or decent speakers! -
i dunno, i know a few! Si

Sounds interesting! However hellish that roundabout looks, it is in my eyes pure genius! Si

I think you'll find the politically-correct term is Civil Partnership lol Should be a laugh Si

Weren't the Ergodynes made from Luthite? Remember picking a couple up a few years ago and them being far from light!? Si

Beautiful! Hate to be anal but i don't suppose you have any more close up shots of the neck joint on both sides from the front? Cheers Si -
So an early conclusion might be that a single piece body will resonate much better then 3 piece glued body (ignoring laminates & veneers etc), but a 3 piece body may sound better then a laminated body that uses badly matched woods!? Hmmm Si

Glad you found it helpful! As far as i know Newtone don't give out Endorsements as such, because they're a small 2 or 3 man company. But they make wicked custom strings and great prices and service, so i'm up for shouting them out to people! Si
-
So I'm just interested in what difference (sound, structural etc etc) it makes when a bass body is made up from a number of different pieces of wood!? What would the characteristic differences be between say a 4 piece body and a 1 piece body? Cheers Si

[quote name='bassman2790' post='78369' date='Oct 23 2007, 04:12 PM']Just checked out the FSOF MySpace. I love 'The Saviour'. Great work Simon[/quote] Thanks a lot! Appreciate it! Si

Cool mate! [url="http://www.newtonestrings.com/"]http://www.newtonestrings.com/[/url] Give Malcolm a ring, tell him what tuning you're using and what kinda gauge and tension feel you want. They cost around the same as a set of Elites. Say Simon Poulton recommended them! Si
-
The main tuning i use in my band is Drop C Standard, so thats C, F, Bb, Eb. I use 45-105 gauge, high tension, Newtone strings and get a tension and action similar to a bass tuned to standard. Although gauge has a little to do with tension, the perception that heavier gauge is necessary for lower tunings isn't precisely true, its more to do with the size of the core of the string. The larger the core itself the more tension you get, giving the potential to have lighter gauges in low tunings. Thats if you can find a string brand that can custom wind thicker cores to the gauge of your choice, like i said, i use Newtones! Si

Well thats never gonna happen is it lol Si -
Thank-ya kindly sir Si
