harvey1-8 Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to body shapes, but I quite like that. Particularly like the fret markers on the side of the neck, nice attention to detail. Quote
steve Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 very impressive, i love the way the top looks like it's melting on the roundovers Quote
lozbass Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Utterly beautiful - congratulations to both you and the builder - a dream realised. The attention to detail and finishing on the bass appear to be of the very highest order - it puts me in mind of Alembic in this regard. A staggering bass and worth the wait and effort Quote
JimBobTTD Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 That is amazingly beautiful. Congratulations! Quote

I'm very jealous.. I keep hinting at him to start sketching a custom active 5 string flying V for me Edited April 4, 2010 by Sarah5string Quote
iamthewalrus Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 Nice looking axe, any chance of a full front pic (ooer missus!!!) of the bass? Cheers, iamthewalrus Quote
EdwardHimself Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) MDD that is a very nice looking bass indeed! I'm not just saying that either. That is really nice. I want one. Edited April 5, 2010 by EdwardHimself Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 That is one stunning looking bass. What's the luthier's pricing like? Quote

peted Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Very nice indeed. I do like small bodied basses. When I look at it I keep thinking 'Conklin'? Quote
Dizzy_G Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Had been lurking following the build thread, but have to [i]come out[/i] and say awesome finish. looks fantastic! (jealous) Quote
funkypenguin Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 wow.....she really is a beauty! been following this thread for a while and you must be one happy chappie! sorry to badger you...but any chance of some sound samples in the near future? ive heard a lot of good things about Nordy pickups but havnt had chance to hear them myself Quote
JackLondon Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 Hopefully if I get a chance by the end of this week I should have something recorded with it as there's few ideas I need to send off to my guitarist anyway Quote
Mikey R Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 just checked this out on me phone, i'll have to have a propper look a work but looks excelent on this little screen! Quote
JackLondon Posted April 29, 2010 Author Posted April 29, 2010 Right, here's a very poor and short sample for you, sorry about the quality but I'm still figuring out how to use my recording equipment. In the file the EQ on the bass is flat, the only variation is the pickups so it goes Bridge-->Both-->Neck-->Both-->Bridge when you hear a second or two of silence that's where I'm fiddling with the knob as you'd say [attachment=48548:Simnett_JD6.mp3] Quote
urb Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 A total stunner - congrats bro - I hope it sounds as great as it looks... Mike Quote
fatback Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Absolutely beautiful. I'd be afraid to take that out of the house Come to that, I'd be afraid to take that out of its case. Quote
