7string Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Looks like next week's going to be an anxious wait !! No doubt you'll be checking all your leads and amps work in readiness for your ACG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 Going to the studio to record this week, so it might make it there actually, although might stick with the familiar Sandberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deksawyer Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I seen this a few weeks a go down at Alans - very nice. It was still a bit rough round the edges and was waiting for the finishing magic, but it did look so nice. Alan has a commission from me on the basis of this and the Lazarus bass. My wait is going to be a bit longer though... D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 I still think that Lazarus bass is such a gay name, haha, but yeah, that was my original one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You lucky B! I've seen this bass in various stages through it's build and it's an absolute beaut and that was even before it had hardware! Pics soon dude, but for now, get off the internet and play that dang bass Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedontcarebear Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Yeah, it plays well, just got to get used to it, it's pretty different to the Sandberg, big gap between the strings and body for example at the end of the neck, so popping is a bit weird at the moment, lowered the pickups a bit as they were a bit close to the strings for my liking. Going to the studio in a few hours, will take it along, and might lay down the guide tracks with it and then try it for the proper recording tomorrow along with the sandberg and pick which one to use. The preamp is going to be hard to get my head around 100%, lots of stuff to do with it, and I usually just have everything on full on basses, haha, and blend in the middle, so this will be interesting, will probably find a sound, and then stick with it! I know what it all does now though (never did when using one before). Much prefer this finish over the lacquered ones though, I've seen/played 4 ACG's now including this (the others were all 5 strings though). Got to try it on a strap actually too! Need to go dig one out for it. Edited May 27, 2009 by thedontcarebear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Seems fine on a strap, not heavy either really, but my sandberg isn't the most lightweight bass, so probably used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
