JimBobTTD Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Excellent stuff! Glad that the bass is in good shape. I'm on a phone...are those two othet pots individual pickup volumes? Quote
Rumple Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Cheers. The idea is to have a four position rotary pot for each of the two pup with : 1. Off 2.Front Coil 3.Both Coils 4. Back Coil along with a master volume and a passive tone control. I thought this might give some nice variation in sound without it getting too complicated to remember what does what. Quote
JimBobTTD Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Aha...nice idea. Flexible without being complicated. I like. Quote

Rumple Posted August 10, 2013 Author Posted August 10, 2013 [quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1376081318' post='2169634'] I like that. Bet you're itchin to hear it! [/quote] Yes I am getting quite excited, I have had a little play on it when Dave brought it around to discuss a couple of options, I've even sold my Overwater to make room for it Quote
urb Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Looks really good - and weight wise I can only say of the joys of using my Seis over the past few years that I'll never go back to heavier instruments again - looking forward to seeing this one with the finish on... nice body shape too Quote
Rumple Posted August 11, 2013 Author Posted August 11, 2013 Thanks, when I saw it the other day it had a little sanding sealer on the body which helped to show the pattern of the wood and it looked lovely. The body shape took me quite a while to come up with, I didn't want it to be too modern looking but also not a Jazz clone, I think it works, according to Dave it's proved a popular enough design that there will be at least one more bass made to the same design. I must get to a J-Sonics gig at some point, you guys sound fantastic. Quote

Rumple Posted August 21, 2013 Author Posted August 21, 2013 Here's the body with the first coat of clear lacquer which has brought the pattern out nicely. [attachment=142028:DSC06969 lr.jpg] Quote
Rumple Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Here's a couple of recent pics from Dave, he's actually applied some more coats since these were taken. [attachment=145099:DSC08639 lr.jpg] [attachment=145100:DSC08638 lr.jpg] Quote
shizznit Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 The figuring front and back is jaw droppingly gorgeous! Quote

Rumple Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 I think Dave is being coy and only revealing the lacquered body a bit at at time [attachment=145376:DSCN0547.JPG] Quote
