  8. Had to give my vote to WezV, looks like something I would love to play and being that he put the parallel fret at about the 6th or 7th I could still chord around on it (which is about all I can do with a guitar ), very ergo and comfy looking, warming woods with all of my favorites thrown in there. Hey Wez thems there bass building woods!
  9. Wow, January all ready?! Guess I'll call this one, Time Flys! Here's my latest. Redeemer DDC body shape, SC2 headstock 5 String fretted bolt on neck 34" scale 24 frets Flamed maple top Swamp ash core Quilted maple bottom Wenge accent veneers Five laminate neck of Maple and Wenge Truss rod with heel access Wenge fingerboard White side markers Body matching headstock top and bottom with wenge accent veneers Hipshot B style bridge 19mm (3/4")spacing Hipshot Ultralight tuners Chrome hardware Redeemer Neodymium stacked buckers Audere Z-mode preamp Shielded cavities Matching knobs, pickup and cavity covers Poly finish http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture086-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture084-3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture098-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture089-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture094-3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture092-2.jpg

I'll call this one Canary Crazy Redeemer dc shape bolt on neck 34" scale fretted 24 (not not counting the zero) 3 laminate body: Quilted canary wood top, black walnut core, mahogany bottom Five laminate neck: Black walnut, curly maple, paduak single truss, heel access Rosewood finger board Dunlop fret wire white side markers matching headstock top and bottom Wilkinson tuners Piezo bridge Redeemer Music Man style humbucker Audere Classic four band preamp with built in Piezo buffer Canary and walnut knobs matching pup and cavity covers Jatoba nut Jim Dunlap strap locks Pictures! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture017-4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture015-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture014-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture013-5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture005-2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture003-5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/sco...icture016-3.jpg Heres a short clip. Like all of my clips they are recorded straight from the interface with no EQ or effects and the Audere set flat. That way you get the raw tone of the bass. The clip starts out on the DCs single Redeemer humbucker and at 29 seconds in goes to the bridge piezo, the part at the end is me fooling around with the piezo http://redeemerbasses.com/downloads/Mixdown%20(2).mp3

  17. You can see it here http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=342555 I simply followed the rules of the forum, I refuse to let people talk down to me in posts or talk to me like I’m a child. I hate the arrogant attitude that floats around here from so many. The worst part is most of the people that act like this, do not have the knowledge or the skill to be so arrogant. I've been a member of this group for several years now, it’s not like I’m some newb kid that doesn’t have something to offer to others. I come here to learn from others and to maybe help others learn what I know. I thought that was what this forum was all about? Seems here lately (within the last couple of years actually) its became nothing but a keyboard battle complete with keyboard cops willing to jump on what and whoever they can with what little authority they have in their sad lives. I come home from work cooled off from the whole ordeal and I see this in my PM box from Maiden; "Man, I would never thought that you will take it like a child. Your work is awesome, whats the point of having all the pics showing? Make them small thumbs like a lot of people are doing. You are not the only person that have been edited, and someone PMed about it. We got to be fair with all the members. You are taking the "Metal Matt" attitude here." I don’t know how to take that but in a negative light. So I guess when your given mod status that pretty much makes you a God and you can boss others around and treat them however you feel? Screw that!! I’m pretty sure I'm going to take my "Metal Matt” attitude somewhere else from now on........Gentlemen I bid you and this site farewell sorry it’s just not worth the frustration. PEACE OUT!
  18. Yes sir you are correct, they do work well, I had to file the slot to a v so that the strings just contacts the middle of the screw. On my next one I’m going to use a screw with a finer thread so that I can adjust the height in finer increments. I forgot about this old thread the bass is pretty much done. I just need to rebuild the neck pickup cover and truss cover out of poplar here’s a current pic with the final poplar pickup cover. And for what its worth I built the bass for just under 300 dollars. Thats including the ton of pickup building stuff I have left over for other projects.
