EBS_freak Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 New 6 string Rumour for your enjoyment. Check out the snakewood tuners... pretty tasty... and I have to say, nobody does matching backplates as good as Bernie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Just been reading your opening post and I'd like to say thank you for going through the history of Bernie's basses. I've always admired them but never had my hands on one. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see the old workshop complete with tv too. Definately looks better with the black hardware - amazing how different the bass can look with a simple change of colour to the hardware.

visog Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I'm lucky enough to be the owner of this one! This bass is the end-result of this build thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141577"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=141577[/url] I will post some sound samples when I get a decent recording and get my bearings around an enormous 35" 5-string fretboard. Visog P.S. Bridge P/U mid-boost Jaco tone is always fun but currently enjoying the neck P/U mid and treble boost for gritty 'Rick-o-tone'. P.P.S. Loving the consistency of tone across all 5 strings P.P.P.S. Use bass boost at your peril! Sorry Neighbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use bass boost at your peril! Sorry Neighbs[/quote] Here's a top tip. Run your volume pot at about 80% and then you can boost without sending the front end of your amp mental. If you then cut, you've got somewhere to go with your overall output. It gives you more control of your tone without clipping the front end of your amp. Anyway, enjoy!

visog Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hmmm.... I could do that EBS_Freak but that implies taste and subtlety. Bit I'm still loving the extremes here: 'ice-pick in the forehead' vs. 'drowning in chocolate' tones. Currently messing with that air-pump 'daisy-cutter' - trouser-flapping bass noise which is used to suppress civil unrest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It is paint, Why would it wear off? modern 2k paint systems are just as hard as normal clear laquer found on most basses and as its a one off anyway unless Lemmy buys it from the fs section there is little to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
