[quote name='mike_zimmerman' post='1241115' date='May 23 2011, 05:44 AM']He is indeed--this one looks fantastic! Like everyone else, I'm anxious to hear your opinion of the P pickup, but I can imagine it being a fantastic match with the ACG preamp![/quote] Also has a very good eye, the colour/grain and wood combos look "right", really looking forward to it!

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='1240260' date='May 22 2011, 12:45 PM']That does indeed look rather special I'll be interested to read your thoughts on how the P pup works out. Peter[/quote] Yup, the P thing should be really interesting, I'll give it a month or so to get used to it and post up a review.

[quote name='steve' post='1239862' date='May 22 2011, 12:31 AM']f*** me, that looks fantastic[/quote] Yep, I thought it would but I'm really chuffed, cant wait to try out the split coil P thing + eq01!

[quote name='giblett123' post='1200202' date='Apr 15 2011, 06:17 AM']Lol, if only![/quote] Alan's just sent me pics of the finished article and I'm well chuffed, can't wait to give it a rip!

[quote name='scojack' post='1235363' date='May 18 2011, 10:45 AM']Thanks ahpook ! Now nutted and fretted, just waiting on neck ferrules and a bridge to arrive this week and the final push is on. Hope the images are showing ok. IanM[/quote] That looks stunning in every way, do you sell them or is this one for your own consumption?

[quote name='peted' post='1229229' date='May 12 2011, 07:46 PM']That black walnut looks gorgeous under that lacquer. Very nice.[/quote] A truly stunning looking bass, Im really looking forward to see how it turns out and no doubt it will be a will be a winner, I'm dieing to know something though, how did you got pics out of him? my two builds have been on the go for the best part of a year and not a sausage, no matter how often I ask, must be something I said! Not that I'm getting erked by it of course! Nope not in the slightest.

[quote name='mike_zimmerman' post='1219110' date='May 3 2011, 08:20 PM']I like it--the Salace shape is one of my favorites at this point, and it'll be nice to see some different examples.[/quote] Yep, I'm looking forward to it, obviously it will be quite a while but it gives me a chance to save up some dosh!

[quote name='Snakey Lane' post='1215886' date='Apr 30 2011, 03:37 PM']Just came across this site through another posting about transcriptions. [url="http://www.arcellussykesmusic.com/index.php?/transcriptions/"]http://www.arcellussykesmusic.com/index.php?/transcriptions/[/url][/quote] I love you too! stunning and thank you.

[quote name='giblett123' post='1214196' date='Apr 28 2011, 09:08 PM']Too much for my feeble chops but one hell of a good bass![/quote] Altered the spec a tad (Apols Alan, I know i'm a king size dithering pain in the arse)! Going for the "Salace" shaped body, It's a thing of beauty and I couldn't resist! the Finn will be next when I've sold something. The pic attached is of the shape for a headless Salace (taken from the affiliates thread), this one will have a headstock so it will be a wee bit different to this but you get an idea.

[quote name='voxpop' post='1216088' date='Apr 30 2011, 07:48 PM']This is what I love about Jon and all builders is the fact you can have a crazy idea like a 6 string fretless P bass and with a little time and effort it comes to life. I can't wait........ Who else is going to turn up at a gig with a fretless P bass 6 . [/quote] That's the beauty of it, you end up owning something a wee bit different and usually unique to you, I now have all mine built, I just like the idea of and it and you know it will be good, I've had a number of Shukers over the years, he does know what he's doing!

[quote name='nugget' post='1215120' date='Apr 29 2011, 05:21 PM']Made a start on the next one, only roughly shaped, will be a bit more rounded. Body is crotch walnut with a little bit of flame, very crazy grain flow to this Top is two-tone Rio Rosewood Set neck is from same stock as the top, nice spalting. Fretboard is just the top cut off the neck so matches perfectly. [attachment=78653:RW5_Full.JPG] [attachment=78654:RW5_Front.JPG] [attachment=78655:RW5_Back.JPG][/quote] Yep, like that a lot, will look lovely.

[quote name='largo' post='1214658' date='Apr 29 2011, 10:20 AM']I think 6 month sounds more realistic, he used to quote 6 weeks ! Sounds like some bass and I promise you won't be disappointed with Jon's work.[/quote] Lol, I've been waiting 9 for mine, they are very good though!

[quote name='danweb22' post='1214159' date='Apr 28 2011, 08:32 PM']Woah not quite! First time on a 6 but absolutely loving it! [/quote] Too much for my feeble chops but one hell of a good bass!

[quote name='jimbobothy' post='1184921' date='Apr 1 2011, 03:55 PM']Bought a Genz Benz shuttle series amp bag off Dan, no worries, good price and posted promptly, recommended Basschatter [/quote] Just sold Dan my ACG 6, great bloke to deal with and a pleasure doing business. Cheers mate.

[quote name='mike_zimmerman' post='1214091' date='Apr 28 2011, 07:07 PM']Woo-hoo! I really like purpleheart and zebrano together, and I expect this one will be gorgeous![/quote] It's a really nice combination, I think the board will look really cool with it too, loads of patterning!
