Zombywoof Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Here's my Corvette Proline 6 fitted with Bartolini pups. paid £400 for it coz it crackles in active mode. Not had it fixed yet but it still sounds great in passive mode. [attachment=33274:24032009_001_.jpg] Maple body and ovangkol neck Edited September 22, 2009 by Zombywoof Quote

And you're right, I just got lucky. Bought it off Carrie Melbourne who is Mike Oldfields bassist and I don't think money was an issue for her. She just wanted shot of it. Right time, right place I guess. I'm not usually so lucky as I've bought some right dogs in the past! Quote

Yes there is an eden 410 missing, one day i'll have another as one just aint enough Quote
JakeBrownBass Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Don't have either of these anymore but this thread is really making me miss them and giving me some serious GAS! Going to have to start saving me thinks for a nice 5 string streamer or 6 string thumb!!! These were a great pair and sounded amazing through that rig. Quote

simondee Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 out of interest Jake, how do you find the Shuttle compares to the Fafner? Quote

So i now have the pleasure of owning my second fafner But yeh, i just missed what i had so got rid of the shuttle for my old trust worthy. The size & weight just wasn't enough for me. Jake Quote
12stringbassist Posted October 8, 2009 Posted October 8, 2009 Streamer Chrome Tone. Walnut Custom Shop Thumb NT. Quote

Walnut Custom Shop Thumb NT.[/quote] I bet that Thumb sounds nice, My 6 string bolt on has a walnut body & has a sweeter sound than bubinga or ovankol. Quote
budget bassist Posted October 9, 2009 Author Posted October 9, 2009 nice chrometone out of interest, how does the chrome affect the tone? i would assume it has a slightly zingy top end? Quote
