fatgoogle Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Don't know whats with all this love for Hatpegs. Baker tuning pegs are where it's at, nothing like huge lumps of brass to know your in safe hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well that was the Jersey ( no VAT ) price , and I don't feel qualified to judge how well it plays or sounds . I have never played another and standing next to it is the worst place to hear it ! The only DB players I have known (from 30 years ago when I quit the music business) are all dead now ! Hard work , but I love it . And now , back to the thread...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Having been in my possession for a couple of months, and now nicely setup by Martyn Bailey...here's my carved Shen SB200 maple (not willow). Strung with Evah Weichs which seem a good all round string so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thats a beaut, Jas. Fantastic looking bass and I bet after MB's work it plays stunningly well. Maybe try one of Ben Bastin's wooden endpins? I have one (a few other BCers too) and I think it does improve the tone vs a metal endpin, plus it means the bass is always at the right height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get settled maybe I'll go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatback Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) These lovely basses are making me even more attached to my poor, battered old czech workhorse. Like you love a scruffy old mongrel, 'cos it's scruffy and old. A pleasure to see these though. Works of art, really.

Marc S Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 [quote name='TPJ' timestamp='1407165938' post='2517960'] Here's my cheapo hybrid that does the job nicely. The colour is horrid and I don't like the upper bout shape but it's all I have I'm saving for a Duke Peacemaker [/quote] Some lovely basses on here Actually TPJ Your "cheapo hybrid" looks fine It's a rather nice, fetching red and something a bit different IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New 5 string neck. I have some naked pics of it somewhere that I will dig out. It polished up lovely with chrome polish and a buffer on my electric drill.

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I have peeked under Owen's leopard print cover and there is indeed a lovely bass under there, the leopard skin is growing on me now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) Here's my recently acquired Eastern European 3/4 size DB currently strung with Thomastik Spiro Weichs and having just been set up by Edward Gaut of Bristol. Edward fitted a new sound post ( original was rubbish), reshaped the bridge and set the action (currently 7.5mm, 7mm, 6.5mm, 6mm). Fortunately the fingerboard didn't need any work. It's semi-solid with flame maple sides and back. I also went for the antique finish as I prefer it to the gloss finish that was available I've got a Realist incoming and our very own Clarky has lent me a gut D and G string to see how I get on with the lower tension. PS Please excuse the state of the carpet and don't tell my wife I took photos without running the Dyson round first!
