7string Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 First time I've managed to get a shot of Jezebel (Sei 7) and Minnie (ACG 9) together. From left to right: [b]Conklin GT7[/b] - de-fretted and ramped by Jon Shuker. [b]Jackson 'Kip Winger' 4 string[/b] - had this bass for many, many years and it still sounds and plays great,. Going to treat it to some new pots (ooooo !!). [b]ACG 9 string[/b] - you'll find the build thread link in my sig. [b]Sei Offset Flamboyant 7 string[/b] - the idea for a lacewood top and back came from owning the Jackson [b]James Tyler 4 string w/D-Basser ebony ramp[/b] - Tyler basses are as good as his guitars (if a lot rarer). My Dean 12, my old Yamaha BB400 fretless and Kinderbasje 1 string are just out of shot. They are still played and needed though Quote
LeftyJ Posted June 18, 2009 Posted June 18, 2009 Love the Tyler! Does it have that incredible Demeter preamp? Quote

You're a lucky dog Hope you're doing well man Oh, and [b]LeftyJ[/b] - the Tyler was an absolute dream to play! Cheers, Eude Quote

The Tyler has the Demeter pre. Its 3 bands act on quite a small range focussing on the mids, rather than 3 bands over a wide range of frequencies. The 3 centres are switchable too. I have found about 4 other Tyler owners, none of them in the UK though !! [quote name='eude' post='517346' date='Jun 18 2009, 01:05 PM']Absolutely brilliant collection mate.

I've played a lot of 4 atrings and the Tyler is the best one I've played. [quote name='Shockwave' post='517391' date='Jun 18 2009, 01:55 PM']mmmm i want that fretless.[/quote] Conklin GT7's are available from Bass Central and Bass NW in the States. The exchange rate means that their not as cheap as they were though. Bought mine for $800 (inc. shipping) some 7 years ago now. Jon Shuker did a great job on the de-fret and ramp.
