andydye Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 [quote name='jaydentaku' timestamp='1350570641' post='1840668'] Cheers Andy. I am smitten with it. Jon has done a fantastic job with the pickup, I am loathed to put it through any effects. [/quote] I'm really looking forward to getting hold of my fretless 6'er from him! maybe just a little reverb?

jaydentaku Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 I don't own a reverb pedal. Not since I sold my GNX3. Quote

BassAgent Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Woo, here's my baby! Fender Standard Jazz Bass fretless from 2001. I modded it quite a bit. The pickups were replaced by Fender Custom Shop 60's pickups (which sound fantastic by the way), I switched the pickguard with a black one, put a Gotoh 201 bridge on it and, last but not least, had the fingerboard epoxied. That last thing was the best thing I ever did to a bass Whát a sound.

tremblap Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) ok I finally had the time to take pictures... First is a custom 6-string neck-through. Ebony fingerboard. Sugar maple body and neck, seasoned for 20 years before used. Barto quad coils passives. Made by Pierre Laporte, a fantastic luthier based in Montréal. And this second one is also from Pierre Laporte. A custom 6-string acoustic. Based around the Thomastik-Infeld nylon strings, it has a cedar top, mostly a classical guitar, but lower ;-) Ebony fingerboard. RMC piezo. I could have show more pictures of each, but it takes ages to do and I've got to play them now ;-) Let's finish with a quick picture of the master luthier in his show, checking on my tuning (I am in the UK now so I adjust the basses myself for many years... his scrutiny was a little intimidating ;-) [sharedmedia=core:attachments:79139] Edited January 15, 2013 by tremblap 1 Quote
BigBeatNut Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Wow to both of those How is the acoustic strung ? B -> C or E -> F maybe ? Quote
