skitzigol Posted July 26, 2019 Posted July 26, 2019 There's some absolute beauties on this thread! I'm going to have to start saving to get a custom build if I don't find an Aerodyne medium-scale soon! Quote
therealting Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 I definitely don’t need this, but part of me really wants it... Waterstone Sam Hill 2-String Bass 2018 Gold Sparkle https://reverb.com/item/22394708-waterstone-sam-hill-2-string-bass-2018-gold-sparkle?utm_source=ios-app&utm_medium=share Quote
skitzigol Posted July 29, 2019 Posted July 29, 2019 @therealting might be difficult to do some octave slappin' & poppin' on that thing! 😆 1 Quote

B-Mac Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 Well, my Eastwood Backlund Rocker Box was delivered Friday and I have to say this thing is gorgeous. Fit and finish is impeccable. Frets are flawless. Neck is flat. No sharp fret ends. No fret buzz. Very solid feel to it. Feels similar to my Gretsch Thunder Jet as far as holding it and playing it, especially the poly finish on maple. Maple Fretboard has a satin finish. Back of neck is poly. Has a good low growl on the E string Really is 32” scale Master tone control doesn’t seem to do much for either pup. Pups are dead silent. Based on my Health-O-Meter analog bath scale it appears to be 9 lbs. HSC is very nice. Probably made for Eastwood by TKL I’m guessing These are early first impressions so more later FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS Body Material - Semi-Hollow Maple Neck Material - Mahogany Fingerboard Material - Maple Finish - Polyurethane Neck Shape - Soft C Scale Length - 32" Fingerboard Radius - 12" Number of Frets - 22 Fret Size - Medium Jumbo Nut Width - 1 1/2" Position Markers - Dot Neck Pickup - Custom Wound Double Coil Bridge Pickup - Custom Wound Double Coil Pickup Switching: Three Way Controls - 2 x Individual Volume, 1 x Master Tone Hardware Finish - Chrome Bridge: Floating Tune-O-Matic Tail: Custom Trapeze Pickguard - Plastic with a brushed metal-looking finish 1 Quote

grandad Posted August 4, 2019 Posted August 4, 2019 That looks a beauty. Just had a look at their range; quite quirky some. I think I could live contentedly with with a Backlund and a Klira. The finish looks very high gloss and prices not super-high. 1 Quote
therealting Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 That’s actually one of the coolest-looking basses I’ve seen in a while. 1 Quote
weefunkateer Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 I've been muchly Insta-funkin' with my medium scale flock of delights of late so thought I'd share the splendour on this most excellent of 32"-long threads... Warwick Rockbass 5 String (heavily customised vibes) + some stanky synth pedal action - open low B here too for the medium-scale naysayers 🙌 Maruszczyk Elwood Absolution Custom 5 String + loop pedal fun - my first foray into E-C tuning 😬 Maruszczyk Jake 4 - off the shelf variety + rockin' out to pop stars doing rock - classic P with flats & pick o'clock 🤘 2 Quote

Hellzero Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 And here is mine, a lovely Alembic Spoiler with a flamed koa top, now fitted with Alembic CX3-45L strings (not on this photo). I love this bass ! 5 Quote

Paul S Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) My Frankenstein 'Honcore' - the neck was a magnificent maple neck from an med scale 80s Hondo II H1015 that, as a whole, was massively too heavy for me to wear. The body donor was a very lightweight Encore double cutaway short scale with a P style humbucker. I had the two spliced together with the necessary adjustments made, Wilkinson bridge, Entwistle PBXN pup. 3.1kg. Just about to get a Fender Custom 62 pup put inside to perhaps darken and warm the tone a little. Real fun thing that turned out better than I hoped - sounds like a Precision but looks nothing like one - and has been promoted up the ranks from home practice to back-up to occasional gigging bass.

Paul S Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Addendum - I swapped the pickup for the Fender custom 62 this morning. Yum. Not as brittle as the Entwistle with more depth and width, more organic in character. I can see why folks recommend them so highly! Worth every penny. Quote
benebass Posted February 22, 2020 Posted February 22, 2020 Shameless plug, but I have a couple of medium scale basses up for sale... Quote
