eude Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 [quote name='Finbar' post='205691' date='May 24 2008, 08:35 PM']Well Jon says the bass is finished! He said I could pick it up tomorrow, but I'm not around tomorrow, so it'll have to be sometime in this coming week. To say I'm excited is an understatement [/quote] Nice one Finbar, you must be well excited! Can't wait to see the finished article mate, you must be peeing your pants! Cheers, Eude Quote

Finbar Posted May 25, 2008 Author Posted May 25, 2008 Making money But yeah, I did just realise Monday is a bank holiday - I won't hold it against Jon if he doesn't want to go to work to hand over a bass on a bank holiday ;p Quote
Dood Posted May 25, 2008 Posted May 25, 2008 dude! Can't wait to see another 7er being born!!! Awesome mate! Awesome! Quote
Finbar Posted May 26, 2008 Author Posted May 26, 2008 Yep, I really get the impression when Jon gets something a little different, he really puts himself into it. I think it is going to be a corker! Just need to sell my Marshall head off to complete the next step of rig evolution... Man, Tuesday can't come soon enough (Jon's taking the day off for the bank holiday, understandably ) Quote
Finbar Posted May 26, 2008 Author Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Damn right. The hour draws near! Going to phone Jon in the morning to clear that it is alright to drop down, but hopefully you should all get some pictures tomorrow! I'm going to be leaving Jon's place with a lighter wallet, but it'll be worth the six months of extra wait on what he quoted me! Hah. Edited May 26, 2008 by Finbar Quote

Jobiebass Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Its 9:51. wheres the pics! haha I think im more impatiant then you! Cant wait to see it. Quote
Finbar Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 I'm just about to take a couple. Jon said he took a couple this morning that we will let me have too - considering he was planning to use them for his site, they're probably better quality than what I'll put out Quote
wotnwhy Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 it's been over half an hour. now i know you must be enjoying playing it, but come on!! Quote
Finbar Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 Okay, so here we are! Photos are from my phone, so they're not brilliant Waiting on the ones Jon has supposedly taken! Took quite a few various ones, but here's a few to keep you going This thing is sexy. Quote
Finbar Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 The colour is closest to the ones in the natural light shots there, just so you know Went with no pickguard. When it came to collecting it, it just looked right. There is no way it looked like anything was missing. Damned if it looks at all like a Stingray now, but it still looks awesome The EQ switch makes a big pop sound when you switch between presets, but Jon has the parts to rectify this on order Not had a chance to play the beastie plugged in yet, but I will soon ^_^ Quote
eude Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) Wow! That's absolutely gorgeous! You must be over the moon mate! You, and everyone else it would seem, where right about the pickguard too, looks brilliant without it, probably would've spoiled it, albeit a little Now get away from your computer and get that bad boy plugged in! Cheers, Eude Edited May 27, 2008 by eude Quote
Bassmonster Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 oh yes another cracker from Mr Shuker......looks stunning! Quote
BigRedX Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Very nice! Like the LEDs! And you made the right choice as regard the pickguard. Quote
OldGit Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Oh excellent.. I like the real signature. nice touch.... So when do you gig it? Quote
Dood Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Simply, Stunning!!! I love the finish! The shape is absolutely spot on! Congratulations! Quote
Finbar Posted May 27, 2008 Author Posted May 27, 2008 Ee ^_^ Thanks guys - I'm pretty happy with it so far! Not had a chance to plug it in. Girlfriend got in the way of playing, and before I knew it it was too late to be plugging an amp in. Thanks, neighbours. There are still a couple of things to iron out on it, but Jon's got that in hand. It'll happen in the next week or so I have a practice with it on Thursday, and a gig with it on the 12th June. Hopefully get some nice action shots from that! Already thinking on the next one, worryingly o_O Quote
Jobiebass Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 That is LUSH!!! It looks superb, the shape, the wood, the finnish, its f**king beaut. Whats your address again? when you out? ;P +1 about deciding not to have a clear S/Plate. looks stunning as is. I bet your well happy with it!!! Congrats Quote
EBS_freak Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 I'm liking the way that the truss rod cover has been done. Quote
