EBS_freak Posted July 6, 2011 Author 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
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 How come the old style p/ups? [quote name='EBS_freak' post='1294346' date='Jul 6 2011, 09:20 AM'] New 6 string Rumour for your enjoyment.

EBS_freak Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 Some guys ask for the original style pickups. Quote

EBS_freak Posted September 2, 2011 Author Posted September 2, 2011 A walnut through neck Spitfire 5 with matching ramp... just finished! I love the Spitfire as a through neck. Really elegant. Quote
GreeneKing Posted September 2, 2011 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

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. Thanks for the post. Edited September 2, 2011 by EBS_freak Quote

visog Posted September 2, 2011 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

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! Quote
visog Posted September 2, 2011 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
EBS_freak Posted October 13, 2011 Author Posted October 13, 2011 New toys! Larry Graham anybody?! Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 Its got to be the sickest bass on BassChat dude?! sounded ace last night too, awesome!!!!! Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 We need to see the back dude! Its my favourite bit Quote
TheGreek Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 White fretboard?? what's that made from then?? Quote
GeeCee Posted October 15, 2011 Posted October 15, 2011 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1318692874' post='1405308'] White fretboard?? what's that made from then?? [/quote] I would imagine it's just painted white. Quote
Lfalex v1.1 Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 [quote name='GeeCee' timestamp='1318695238' post='1405344'] I would imagine it's just painted white. [/quote] That'd wear off. It's more likely to be Phenolic Resin. It looks like it is. Quote
stingrayPete1977 Posted October 16, 2011 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
BigJim Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 [quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1318549930' post='1403753'] [/quote] You finally got it mate! Looks a stunner, congrats Quote
paragon Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 +1 absolutely fantastic - love the blue leds against the white. Bernie is doing some fantastic work Quote
