Dood Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 you have a mid control onboard your SC.. I cannae remember , it was the Shuker circuit right? - The plans for my headless SC are coming on nicely.. I'm still in the process of sorting bits and bobs out.. Jon has come up with a few wicked ideas too.. I think he is getting used to my tastes in instruments and is testing designs on me! Bring it on I say!

RichBowman Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I do indeed, the frequency control is a nice little screw on the back that you can reach through the control cavity. All very nifty! Jon a legend as far as I'm concerned, I still get a smile every time I pick the bass up! Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd have a very hard time arguing with the fact! ;o) Do you have any recordings of pre and post pup changes? I'd be interested to find out how the P style interacts with the DC coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichBowman Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hey Dan, I'm afraid I didn't get the chance to get anything down pre or post, I might be able to sort something with the new ones at some point when I get a bit of spare time! Going to drop you a quick PM in a bit about something, don't want to derail this thread too much! Cheers, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to see the thread of your new bass Dan, hope it turns out to be an epic like the Doodle build . Mines not been that quick to be honest, this has been going on for 6 months, although in fairness I did tell Jon to take his time with it. Best bit is the wife still has no idea I'm having it made, if she gets wind of it, it will be time for one of her Latina nuclear strikes, when her head goes its megga, so I'm staying shtum about it. I'm going to tell her it was a bargain special from evil bay ! Edited June 19, 2007 by Johngh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have done very well to keep it quiet chap! I can barely keep quiet when I buy a flippin chiccy bar.. let alone bass gear of any sort.

Johngh Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'm off to Jons on Friday to see the progress on "Blondie" if you are having a Shuker made at the mo, and would like photos, I will see what I can do to accomodate. Please PM me with details so as not to clutter up this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Rich, probably a mixture of all three. Fact is she's after us buying a caravan of all things ! so whats the priority, a nice new Shuker, or a Caravan........no contest methinks the planning of smuggling and hiding the Shuker in the house is already at a advanced stage, as are the million and one excuses once I get found out.

peted Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 That is lovely. Looks like it's got a really high gloss finish to it (similar to Sei's usual finish). Gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johngh Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Just got back from Jon's. The bass looks stunning in the flesh. Looking at the quilt maple top from the side, it looks 3D its soooo deep. Once the wet look gloss laquer goes on it will be brilliant. I'm picking it up at the start of August now because of flood delays, and me going on holiday. I didn't take any more photos as its about the same as it was in the last photos Jon sent me. This bass is going to be a peach. Its turning out exactly as I wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
