[/quote] I don't think any of my vital organs would be worth anything given the sustained alcoholism they've subjected to throughout my adult years. On the other hand though, they'd be well marinaded, might be quite the delicacy in some parts... Quote
Noisyjon Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Looking good Eude. I tried most of those stock basses out when I collected my bass...they are all very nice! Quote

The neck is bang on Precision shaped and feels great. The SD Classic Stack P'ups are really nice sounding units aswell. Cheers, Jon. Quote
eude Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Got another pic of the body from Jon. Should 'ave it by the end of the month hopefully! [attachment=15999:bassBody.jpg] Nice Quote
Bassmonster Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 that is good news, round about the same time as mine then, although i havn't had any pics since august! so i can't wait Quote
eude Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Got an email from Jon last night. Just need to finalise the control layout and "knob choice", by email this weekend and then the bass should be with me within a week or so! I'm an excited little Eude! Quote
peted Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) A lovely bass in time for Christmas, excellent timing! I like to think that every finished bass means that mine gets one place further up the queue Remember that we expect plenty of photos! Edited December 5, 2008 by peted Quote
7string Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 [b]Eude[/b] - I understand your excitement Quote

eude Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 Right, one last decision to make. Control layout and knobs... Either going with this >> [attachment=16966:DSCN5071.jpg] or this >> [attachment=16967:DSCN5072.jpg] Any thoughts? I'm leaning towards the more traditional straight line layout, I don't think 3 knobs are enough to follow the curve of the body. Oh, and I need to decide on either Lakland style Rubber knobs or the standard Black Metal Dome ones Jon usually uses, like in the pics. Cheers, Eude Quote
Old Horse Murphy Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Corr!!! Lovely!! I'd go for the traditional layout and metal dome knobs personally. Quote
OldGit Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 My vote goes for the Straight line And some kind of matt black knobs with some kind of position indicator thing so you can see if it's on or off without having to twiddle or play something to find out. EG I always attach my P bass knobs so the grub screw is in a specific and visible place for me to see when they are set to full on. Quote
Bassmonster Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 yeah option 1 for me to dude, great to see you got more pics to Quote
Stylon Pilson Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Of those two options, I prefer the traditional straight line, but have you considered packing them further towards the bottom of the bass, something like this: [attachment=16968:DSCN5071b.jpg] S.P. Quote
eude Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 Hey guys, yeah I think you're all right, the more traditional layout is the way to go. [b]Oldgit[/b], I'd never thought of using the grub screws to keep an eye on things, might get my allen key out tonight and investigate. Live with my band I only really use the one sound on my 6er, so not really necessary on that one, however, this is a new bass, so who knows how I'll use it [b]Stylon[/b], not so sure about shifting the controls so much, as I'm looking for a more classic look with this bass. They'd be well out the way leaving plenty of room for crazy technique though... Cheers guys, Fingers crossed I'll have the bass in about a week! Eude Quote
Noisyjon Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Hi eude, I'm with the straight line idea as well. Looking good there Mate, and I know exactly how you're feeling this close to the line! Cheers, JTB Quote
peted Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Straight in-line gets my vote as it's 'Jazz-correct'. I think satin finish black metal if it's available would my favourite. I'm not too keen on plastic/rubber controls on a high-end bass. Quote
