TimR Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I like tha way the grain spreads out from the bridge towards the neck. Feel the groove internally within your own creativity. - fingertalkin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo-London Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 What's the spec of the bass? What are the parts, active or passive, scale length etc. Davo "We will make you bob your head whether you want to or not". - David Sisk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were huge and I didn't want to suck up too much bandwidth so I shrunk 'em. When I get home tonight I'll post the big 'uns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you play with the E on the bottom or top? I play with the E closest to my head, in other words strung the opposite of righty. Lug does it the other way, though, as do some others.

... Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Nice! But it's backwards! I do rather enjoy the right handed neck on the left handed body. It does look rather Jimi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcadmus Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Sweet looking bass. How's it sound? Is it just me, or is the bridge set REALLY far back? "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Thorne Posted November 3, 2006 Author Share Posted November 3, 2006 Originally posted by jcadmus: Sweet looking bass. How's it sound? Is it just me, or is the bridge set REALLY far back? I think it sounds really good. I admit my bias. But other bassists and guitar players have told me they think it sounds good, too, (without being asked) so that encourages me that I'm maybe not deluding myself. As I've mentioned elsewhere the body ie very resonant, and I don't think you can go far wrong with Carvin humbucking pickups. Dunno about the bridge. I had to move it that far back to get it to intonate correctly. I suppose that might be because of the righty neck, or maybe the body isn't a 100% accurate J copy.
